Musical Masterworks 2007-2008 - Welcome

Welcome

Dear Friends,

The 2008-2009 season will be a very special one for me. I will be celebrating my 80th birthday this year, and Musical Masterworks will be celebrating its eighteenth year of chamber music concerts. I have enjoyed every moment that I have spent with you and hope to give you the most spectacular season ever as a token of my thanks for your support over the past seventeen years.

Along with Musical Masterworks Associate Artistic Director Edward Arron, I have planned a season featuring some of the finest artists of our time, along with many Musical Masterworks favorites. I am delighted to say that Stephen Prutsman, Todd Palmer, and the St . Lawrence String Quartet will be returning this year. Joining us for the first time will be horn virtuoso Eric Ruske. They will be performing some of the greatest masterworks of all time, including the Brahms Horn Trio in E-flat Major, the Dvorak “Dumky” Trio, the Franck Piano Quintet in f minor, and other great masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire.

I thank you for your support over the past seventeen years and look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the beautiful First Congregational Church of Old Lyme for our eighteenth season of the fine chamber music.
Charles Wadsworth
Artistic Director
