FIRST ANNUAL STRING CELEBRATION MAY 6
Fifty young string students will be performing on Sunday, May 6, 1 pm at Greenfield High School. This is the first annual String Celebration Day organized by Artspace. This one hour concert will bring Franklin County string students together to make music. Jonathan Brennand, Assistant Conductor of the Pioneer Valley Symphony will conduct.
“This event is possible because of the the wonderful string teaching in Franklin County - teachers in public and independent schools, private studios and Artspace, “ states Mary Kay Hoffman, Executive Director of Artspace. Artspace currently sponsors the Strings for Kids program in the Greenfield Public Schools.
Admission to the concert is free. Donations will be gratefully accepted.
The First Annual String Celebration is funded by the Xeric Foundation, Greenfield Public Schools, and contributions from the Bement School faculty and staff in memory of Larry Clark whose life was highly enriched by music.
