Announcing the Brookline Music School 18-19 Faculty Artist Series

Brookline Music School is pleased to announce the 2018-2019 Faculty Artist Series. For the past six years, the Faculty Artist Series has featured the talented collective of professional musicians who make up the Brookline Music School faculty. This season’s concerts reflect the diversity in music and in our community and include everything from classical chamber music and vocal music, to little-known 20th century works and a folk/Americana singer-songwriter duo. Faculty Artist Series concerts begin at 3:00pm and take place in the intimate recital hall at Brookline Music School (25 Kennard Road, Brookline, MA) giving audience members an up-close, interactive, and personal experience with the performers. Each performance is followed by a Meet-the-Artists reception. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $10. More information at www.BMSmusic.org/FAS.

The Series begins on Sunday, October 14, 2018. Celia Zhang, BMS violin faculty member, is joined by guest artists Michael Bellofatto, French horn, and Maral Annaovezova, piano, for a unique program of works for horn trio by Brahms and Berkeley.

On Sunday, December 2, 2018, Cynthia Sanger, BMS piano faculty member, will present solo piano works by Chopin, Schubert, & Ginastera. She will also be joined by BMS faculty members Anthea Kechley, flute, and Egle Jarkova, violin, for selections by Bach and Martinu.

Rob Woodin, BMS voice faculty member, will be joined by pianist Eric Kamen on Sunday, March 3, 2019 for a program of diverse classical vocal music including art song and opera selections.

Finally, Ariel Friedman, BMS cello faculty member, and her sister, Mia Friedman, fiddle/voice/banjo, will close the season on Sunday, April 28, 2019. The chamber-folk duo, known as “Ari & Mia: New England’s Americana Sister Act,” will present an afternoon of original compositions and traditional tunes with folk roots.
