Sudbury Seniors Concert

My sister and I are cello and violin students at The Rivers School Conservatory. We are helping RSC raise money for its Scholarship Fund by performing in Performathon.

Performathon is a sequence of 16 hour-long classical music concerts from Saturday March 5th (10:00am-8:00pm) and Sunday March 6th (noon to 6:00pm). Performathon will be at Natick Collection, on the Framingham/Natick border in MA in the Neiman Marcus Court located outside of Tiffany on Level 1.

Whether or not you can come to the concert, please donate!

Donating through the FirstGiving website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

Your donation will really means a lot to us and to the music students who get the financial help they need for lessons through the Rivers Music Conservatory Scholarship Fund. Please tell anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Out of the ashes of the sad demise of the Greater Boston Flute Association comes a reborn Flute Events Calendar sponsored and hosted by the Boston Flute Academy. Here is the link. Presently it’s populated with the remnants of the GBFA calendar, but hopefully by Fall, it will be fully operational.

Pianist Sicroff received his classical music training at the Julliard School, Oberlin Conservatory and the International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne, England. While teaching in England, Sicroff was introduced to Olga de Hartmann, widow of Ukranian composer Thomas de Hartmann (1885-1956). He studied with her from 1975-1979. Since then, Sicroff has given many recitals of de Hartmann’s music at concert halls and universities in the US, Canada, and Europe.

Most of this program will consist of de Hartmann’s piano music composed under the spiritual influence of Soviet mystic G. I. Gurjieff (1872?-1949).
