HISTORY
The School of Music started the Music at Penn’s Woods more than 20 years ago as a chamber music festival, and it rapidly developed into a full orchestral program attracting musicians from across the country. According to Sue Haug, Director of the School of Music, classical music lovers in the community urged the school to reestablish the festival. “This is a true community-university partnership, and we are grateful to all who have shown their support through their financial contributions, including Dotty and Paul Rigby, who are sponsoring the Festival Orchestra concerts, and to all our friends who have supported the festival through their contributions, volunteer support, and attendance at the concerts.” Festival Music Director Gerardo Edelstein is looking forward to working with the talented musicians who will make up the 2009 Festival Orchestra. “I am very excited to be part of this wonderful festival and to have the chance to work with an amazing group of musicians that includes our own faculty, the finest community players, and former and current School of Music graduate students.” Prof. Edelstein will also be teaching an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) class on June 15 and 22, on the topic of music inspired by dance.
