Presented by The Music Institute of Sullivan and Ulster Counties
A classical music program featuring Anastasia Solberg on viola, and David Fiedler on violin. After many years working together, the two musicians formed Duo Solitude during the COVID shutdown. Since then they have gone on to win multiple competitions and are now excited to present the varied programs they’ve prepared for the public.
Anastacia Solberg has ties to Sullivan County that go way back, around 25 years. After teaching as an adjunct professor of violin and viola at various institutions of higher learning and running her own private studio, Anastasia decided that she could best assist those around her by opening a music school. In 2001, she founded the Music Institute of Sullivan and Ulster Counties (MISU).
David Fiedler, lived in Monticello for many years. His first violin teacher was his father, an artist by profession, who was also an amateur violinist and devoted music lover. David attended the High School of Music and Art in New York City, and Juilliard Pre-College and College, where he was a student of Ivan Galamian. After graduating with a Bachelor of Music degree, he joined the South Dakota Symphony as concertmaster, and the Dakota String Quartet as first violinist.
