Dr. Ames Asbell, Associate Professor of Viola, was a featured artist during the 5th International Viola Forum, hosted by the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznan, Poland, from April 10th-14th. The forum was held in a virtual format this year due to the pandemic; Dr. Asbell presented a solo viola recital (“Neo-Baroque Solo Viola Suites by Female Composers”) and a presentation (“Tango Performance Techniques and Repertoire for Viola”) recorded specially for the event, as well as live masterclasses via Zoom. Dr. Asbell is the President-Elect of the American Viola Society.
