Sherry Kloss Violinist |
Among the foremost violinists of her generation, former Pittsburgher, Sherry Kloss has performed to great acclaim throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Her "singing" style reflects the influence of her close association as master-teaching assistant to Jascha Heifetz. She has appeared as guest soloist with the major United States and Australian symphony orchestras. Her London debut at Wigmore Hall earned her outstanding critical acclaim and resulted in a return engagement. She has performed in several of the most outstanding concert halls including the Ambassador Auditorium, Royce Hall, Constitution Hall, and The Sheldon. Strongly committed to education, Miss Kloss has been on the faculties of the University of Adelaide, Australia and the University of Southern California. She presents master classes in music conservatories, universities and music festivals throughout the world, including a recent residency at The Eastman School of Music. Her "Music Institute for the Development of Personal Style" in memory of Jascha Heifetz will celebrate it's eighth season on the campus of Southern Oregon University. She holds the prestigious Honorary Degree of Excellence from Italy's Academia Chigiana Musicale and serves as adjudicator for International Competitions. In 1998 Commissioner Michael Dawida issued a proclamation recognizing Sherry Kloss' achievements and status as a prominent Pittsburgh artist. Her recordings "Forgotten Gems" and "Lost & Found Treasures of the Heifetz Legacy", have received international recognition as evidenced by her guest appearances on the NPR programs, "Weekend Edition", "Performance Today", and the WFMT Chicago "Studs Terkel Almanac", all of which showcased her work. Miss Kloss plays the Heifetz-Tononi violin willed to her by the late master, Jascha Heifetz.
