Duke University String School 50th Anniversary Celebration: Violin and Cello Choir Concert

The Duke String School is directed by Erica Shirts. The Duke University String School was founded by Dorothy Kitchen and a member of the Ciompi Quartet, Arlene di Cecco, in 1967, and has been part of Duke ever since. DUSS serves area students in grades K-12, teaching the violin, viola, cello, and bass through private lessons, chamber music groups, and orchestras at a variety of levels. This fall, DUSS is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a vital source of K-12 music education in the Durham community.
