About Eastern Music Festival
The Eastern Music Festival’s mission is to promote musical enrichment, excellence, professional collaboration, innovation, and diversity through a nationally-recognized teaching program, music festival, concerts, and other programs which will enhance the quality of life, health, and vitality of our region.

The Eastern Music Festival and School, founded in 1961 in Greensboro, North Carolina by Sheldon Morgenstern, is an internationally-renowned classical music festival and institute for young musicians that runs for five weeks each summer. The institute accepts students ages 14 through 22 from around the country and the world. The EMF faculty consists of world-class performing artists selected from top orchestras and music schools nationally and internationally.  Gerard Schwarz serves as the music director and principal conductor for the Festival, and also serves as music director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.  The 2011 season will mark Eastern Music Festival’s 50th anniversary in the Piedmont.

The 2010 season is sponsored in part by the United Arts Council of Greater Greensboro, the North Carolina Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, Piedmont Music Center (Steinway Pianos), Continental Airways – the official travel sponsor of EMF, News & Record, the O.Henry and Proximity Hotels – the official hotels of EMF, Print Works Bistro, and WFDD-FM.

The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle will finish out its 2009-2010 concert season on Sunday, May 16, 2010. The 3 p.m. concert will be held at the Carolina Theatre in Durham and will include an All-European Program.

Lorenzo Muti, The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle

The All-European Program will include performances of Gioachino Rossini’s “La Cenerentola Overture,” Franz Schubert’s “Symphony no. 6 in C major, D. 589” and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Symphony no. 40 in G minor, K. 550.”

“The program presents works that were written at the cusp between the Classical and Romantic periods,” says Lorenzo Muti, artistic director and conductor of The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle. “While the language of the Mozart work tends to point to the darker colors of romanticism, the Rossini piece shines in its careless sonic joy and the Schubert symphony imitates it in an attempt to gain popularity and recognition with Viennese audiences.”

In addition, COT board member Michael Hamilton will lead the orchestra as a guest conductor in the performance of George Frideric Handel’s “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.” Hamilton won the opportunity as the highest bidder during a live auction at the A Little Night Music XII 2009 Fall Gala, the orchestra’s signature fundraising event.

“As a lifelong classical music fan, this will be an experience to remember,” says Hamilton.” I couldn’t pass up the chance to have some fun, while supporting the COT.

To emphasize its commitment to engaging young people with great classical music, the orchestra provides free seating at every concert to students of all ages. Tickets are available at the Carolina Theatre box office or by calling 919.560.3030. For more information on The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, visit www.thecot.org or call 919.360.3382.

Whether Maxine was handling details of a symphony visit to a small North Carolina town, raising funds for a worthy cause or meditating in UNC’s Coker Arboretum with her brush and easel, she was always the advocate for what is good and beautiful. The Ciompi Quartet was one of Maxine’s favorite local ensembles.
