As part of the Ridgeway Presents program, local young musicians will have the opportunity to work directly with Vadim and present their work during the first of the performance.

The Ridgeway Arts Presents program has both a national and local focus, fully integrated with its educational outreach programs. The programs focuses on presenting high profile artists in the Bay Area as well as providing young musicians access to educational opportunists with these artists.
