Bio

   

Sheila Reinhold gave her first performance as soloist with orchestra at the age of nine in the Kaufmann Concert Hall of the 92nd Street Y in her native New York City. At the age of fourteen, she was invited by Jascha Heifetz to join his master class at the University of Southern California, where she studied with him for five years. She received her B.Mus. from USC and studied theory and analysis with composers Leon Kirchner and Earl Kim at Harvard University.


Ms. Reinhold's concert engagements have included solo appearances with conductors such as Zubin Mehta and André Kostelanetz, chamber music with Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky, and performances both as soloist and as chamber musician at festivals such as Chautauqua, Ives, and Mohawk Trail. She has premiered many solo and chamber works for both violin and viola and can be heard as a chamber musician on the North/South and Albany labels, most recently on a CD of the music of Allen Shawn. Her varied career has also included work on major films and Broadway productions, and appearances in concert and on recordings with popular artists such as Tony Bennett and Aretha Franklin.


Ms. Reinhold is the founder and music director of Intimate Voices, a chamber music series in New York City which has been presenting chamber music concerts and community outreach events since 2009, featuring some of New York's finest chamber musicians in classical and contemporary repertoire.


Ms. Reinhold has had a life-long dedication to teaching, with positions including Resident Musician at Harvard and head of the string faculty at the Children's Orchestra Society in New York, in addition to maintaining her home studio. She has also been an adjudicator, guest teacher and chamber music coach at, among others, the Juilliard School, Mannes College, Manhattan School of Music, Eastman School of Music, and Columbia University. She has been a faculty member of the Chamber Music Conference and Composer's Forum of the East each summer since 2000.


Sheila Reinhold recently moved her home base to Denver, where she has taught courses for adult music-lovers through the University of Denver and curated an annual Holocaust Remembrance concert, among other activities, while maintaining her commitment to Intimate Voices in New York and engagements elsewhere.

Banned Music Reborn: The Rediscovery of Two Generations of European Composers 

March 23, 30  6:30-8:30 MDT on Zoom


Syllabus and course materials


DU Enrichment Program Homepage

DU Enrichment Program online catalogue, winter/spring 2023


In 1933, the Third Reich began the persecution of all musicians of Jewish ancestry and all musicians suspected of opposition to Nazi culture. By 1945, two generations of European composers had been murdered or had fled into exile. 

This course is an introduction to the exciting and moving rediscovery of these composers and their music, with performances throughout the world of lost or forgotten compositions. Topics discussed in the sessions will include: the place of these composers in the musical life of pre-war Germany and Europe, the many perils that faced them after the Nazi rise to power, the challenges and consequences of exile for those who survived, the possible reasons - both cultural and political - that until recently so much music was lost, forgotten, or willfully suppressed, and how these discoveries are re-shaping our view of 20th-century music and impacting the international classical music scene. In each session I will perform music for solo violin.

A Performer's Exploration of Bach's Six Masterpieces for Solo Violin

Syllabus and course materials


DU Enrichment Program Homepage 

DU Enrichment Program online catalogue, fall 2021 


A three-session course designed to deepen our experience of listening to the Six Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin by J. S. Bach. The sessions will delve into topics such as the structure of the pieces, the violinistic techniques they demand, and the evolution of how they have been interpreted and performed, always with the goal of illuminating how all these aspects, and many more, affect how audiences and performers experience these works which evoke, in the words of Brahms, “the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings”. In each session I will include live demonstrations and will perform of one of these masterpieces, as well as a related work.
