We are deeply grateful to The Robert & Mercedes Eichholz Foundation, which shares our vision and stepped alongside us to sponsor creating an archive of professionally filmed outstanding performances from the SYV Concert Series to make these artists’ brilliant performances easily, broadly, and freely available to music lovers, students, teachers, seniors, and other artists.  
 
In the late spring  of 2024  ENCORES! will next present the Grammy award winning violinist and producer, Johnny Gandelsman, performing works for solo violin from his commissioned work This is America - An Anthology 2020-2021.
