Master class coaching by guest artists has been part of Hoff-Barthelson’s curriculum since the School’s founding in 1944. This distinguished tradition continues this season with a roster of world-class musicians and educators including David Madsen, guitar; composers Nils Vigeland and Matt Browne; Almita Vamos, violin; Paul Watkins cello; Chelsea Knox, flute; Victor Rosenbaum, piano; and members of the New York Philharmonic.
Master classes provide a transformative experience for both students and audiences. Following meticulous preparation, students showcase their talents, receiving invaluable feedback and guidance from master teachers. This interaction challenges students to approach their pieces in new and critical ways, resulting in inspiring and enlightening performances. Yet the impact extends beyond those on stage—all attendees can learn by observing the creative process firsthand. As iconic performers coach the next generation, the audience gains insight into musical artistry and interpretation. Even developing musicians are granted a rare glimpse into the mastery of world-class artists.

Chelsea Knox is the principal flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. A sought-after performer, Ms. Knox has held positions as assistant principal flute of the Baltimore Symphony and principal Flute of the New Haven and Princeton Symphonies. She has been hailed by The New York Times for her warmth, precision, and clarity, as well as by the New York Classical Review for her “expressive life and full tone.”
An active orchestral and chamber musician, Ms. Knox has appeared with numerous orchestras including the Philadelphia Orchestra, All-Star Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and IRIS Orchestra. As a soloist, Ms. Knox has performed concertos with the Baltimore Symphony, Princeton Symphony, Hartford Symphony, Manchester Symphony, Juilliard Lab Orchestra, and Connecticut Youth Symphony. She has won competitions including the New York Flute Club Young Artists Competition and the Hartford Symphony Young Artists Competition.
Ms. Knox earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School in New York City as a student of Jeffrey Khaner.

Master Classes are open to the public to observe free of charge.
Nils Vigeland, born in Buffalo, NY in 1950, is a pianist and composer. He made his professional debut in 1969 with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Lukas Foss. Vigeland studied composition with Foss at Harvard (B.A., 1972) and later earned a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, studying with Morton Feldman and Yvar Mikhashoff.
Vigeland’s first orchestral piece was performed by Foss and the Buffalo Philharmonic in 1970. His works have since been performed by renowned groups such as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Oslo Radio Orchestra. Notable compositions include “Piano Concerto” (1984) and “False Love/True Love” (1992), premiered by the English National Opera.
He has recorded collaborations with artists like Jenny Q Chai, Daniel Lippel, and John Popham, and his recent work, “Pale Fire,” a 90-minute solo piano piece, premiered in 2023. Vigeland toured extensively with Morton Feldman as part of “Morton Feldman and Soloists” and directed The Bowery Ensemble (1980-1989), premiering numerous contemporary works.
A long-time educator, Vigeland taught at the Manhattan School of Music for thirty years, retiring as Chair of the Composition Department in 2013. His music appears on labels like Mode, Naxos, and Lovely Music, and his choral works are published by Boosey and Hawkes. To learn more, visit nilsvigeland.com
Colorado-based composer Matt Browne (b. 1988) strives to create music that meets Sergei Diaghilev’s famous challenge to Jean Cocteau: “Astonish me!”, through incorporating such eclectic influences as the timbral imagination and playfulness of György Ligeti, the shocking and humorous polystylism of Alfred Schnittke, and the relentless rhythmic energy of Igor Stravinsky. His music has been praised for its “unbridled humor” (New Music Box) and described as “witty” (The Strad) and “beautifully crafted and considered” (What’s On London).
Dr. Browne has had the honor to collaborate with such ensembles as the Minnesota Orchestra, Alarm Will Sound, PRISM Quartet, Albany Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, and the Eastman Wind Ensemble. His music has received honors such as the ASCAP Foundation Rudolf Nissim Prize, an ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers award, and a BMI Student Composer award.
He received his DMA from the University of Michigan. Previous teachers include Michael Daugherty and Carter Pann.
