Exciting Benefit Concert for American Voices (My Beirut Program!)

Viennese Tales – Beethoven, Schubert & The Art of Musical Storytelling.

Performed by Ellyses Kuan, piano and Julie Reimann, cello
Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 7 p.m. at the James Library in Norwell

I am thrilled to let you know about an upcoming concert by my friends in The Duo Amie chamber group.  Ellyses (piano) and Julie (cello) are accomplished and expressive concert artists!  They’ve offered to designate these concerts as benefits for American Voices YES Academy, the program through which I teach in Beirut.
The program is wonderful! And the concert is closely – at the James Library in Norwell!  
This is such a generous and lovely offer from Duo Amie. I would be so happy to see many of you, students and family members, in the audience for either or BOTH of these. You are my studio family, and as such, you are part of the braider world of music making through my students in the Middle East.  I’ll be giving a brief talk about my work in YES Academy and about the American Voices projects all over the world.

Thank you so much for your support!
