As part of the 2003 United States and Mexico tour of Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra, Peabody halls were filled on Nov. 12 with master classes, including one with notable violinist Pinchas Zukerman, the orchestra's music director.

The program for the violin master class included performances by sophomore Jina Lee; Minjae Kim, a second-year candidate in the Graduate Performance Diploma Program; and first-year GPD candidate Nikos Pittas. The Peabody students were joined by 15-year-old Brendan Conway, a fellow at the National Symphony Orchestra.

Four principal players of the National Arts Centre Orchestra presented master classes for their respective areas: Karen Donnelly, trumpet; Amanda Forsyth, cello; Kimball Sykes, clarinet; and Lawrence Vine, horn. Composer Denys Bouliane, also on tour with the orchestra, presented a composition seminar.
