Musical Masterworks is now finalizing its 2008-2009 season. We will be updating this site with the current artists and programs for what promises to be a spectacular season. For more information, or to receive a brochure, please call 860-434-2252.
Dear Friends, I am delighted to tell you that the 17th season of Musical Masterworks is going to be one of our finest ever. We will welcome back several of our favorite Masterworks performers, including violinist Chee-Yun and pianists Jeremy Denk and Wendy Chen. We are also pleased to bring two of our newly discovered artists back for their second season with us. Pianist Erika Nickrenz and violist and composer Kenji Bunch thrilled us last season and we bring them back to you by popular demand!
Those of you who attended our final concerts of the past season heard that I will be taking a partial sabbatical during the 2007-2008 season. Although I will remain actively involved with our concert programming and will be performing at several of our concerts, I have enlisted the brilliant young musician and impresario, Edward Arron, to act as Associate Artistic Director to temporarily lighten my workload. I am excited to be working with such a talented artist and administrator, for Ed is not only one of the world’s finest cellists, but also a skilled artistic director known for his outstanding concert productions. He and I are working together to bring you some of the most dynamic performers on the world’s concert stages today, and I know that you will be pleased with our choices. I look forward to being back full-time with Musical Masterworks for the 2008-2009 season – in time to celebrate my 80th birthday with you!
As always, we are deeply grateful to the First Congregational Church for the use of their acoustically superb and glorious meetinghouse. I look forward to having you join us for what promises to be another fabulous season of Musical Masterworks!
