New Orleans Friends of Music

Description

NEW ORLEANS FRIENDS OF MUSIC For the 2010-2011 season, its 56th, the New Orleans Friends of Music continues the tradition of bringing internationally acclaimed musicians to the community. A stellar series of artists will perform at Tulane University ’s Dixon Hall, some new to our audiences and others returning by popular demand. We are excited to be able to offer seven outstanding chamber concerts of considerable variety, including quartets, trios, duos, and solo piano. In addition, we are presenting the world famous Kronos Quartet in a special concert on March 16, 2011. New Orleans Friends of Music is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the performance and appreciation of fine chamber music. It owes its success to loyal subscribers, the dedication of board members, contributions of friends, grant support from the City of New Orleans and the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and a 55-year association with Tulane University. Subscription prices average just over $15 per concert, $110 for the 7-concert series. Friends of Music has a responsibility to the community to bring music to the youth of the city and to cultivate the appreciation of classical music. This season we will continue an outreach program in which some of the performing ensembles give master classes or lecture demonstrations at local schools and universities. For the benefit of our audiences, before each concert Dr. John Joyce of the Newcomb Department of Music faculty will give a free lecture about the music at 7 p.m.
