Sherry Kloss - Heiress to the Heifetz-Tononi Violin Among the foremost violinists of her generation, 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 pupil and master-teaching assistant to Jascha Heifetz. Her recordings, "Forgotten Gems" and "Lost & Found Treasures of the Heifetz Legacy", have received international recognition with extensive interviews on NPR's "Weekend Edition", Performance Today", and WFMT Chicago "The Studs Terkel Almanac". She holds the prestigious Honorary Degree of Excellence from Siena, Italy's Academia Chigiana Musicale and serves as adjudicator for International competitions. In 1998, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania issued a proclamation recognizing Sherry Kloss as a prominent Pittsburgh artist. She is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Music Institute for the Development of Personal Style at Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, author of the recently released book, Jascha Heifetz Through My Eyes, and Co-Founder of Jascha Heifetz Society. She has held Professorships in Australia, California and Indiana. Ms. Kloss plays the Heifetz-Tononi violin willed to her by Jascha Heifetz.
"Sherry
Kloss is an excellent violinist and anyone who thinks that 'nobody plays
like that anymore' should hear her".
"Miss Kloss'
playing was strongly reminiscent of Heifetz. There is zest and total commitment,
combined with virtuosity". Visit Ms. Kloss' website at Kloss Classics.
