Hello music lovers!
What a crazy winter we all just survived -- we hope you made it through unscathed. And while all that snow was falling, some good things were falling into place with The LiveARTS String Quartet!
NEXT CONCERT COMING SOON!
We are excited to announce our next concert in Franklin this season! The concert will take place on
Sunday, May 17 at 3:00
Franklin Historical Museum
80 West Central Street, Franklin
Masterworks by
Franz Joseph Haydn, Felix Mendelssohn,
and Robert Schumann.
For this concert tickets are on sale for a modest admission charge:
- Adults $25
- Seniors 65+ $20
- Students12+ $15
- Under 12 Free
Those of you who attended the concert last November will remember how wildly popular it was -- so much so that many people had to stand. Purchasing tickets in advance for this concert will guarantee you a seat -- but seating is limited. There is a cap of 70 tickets available.
Any remaining tickets will be available for purchase at the door -- but do not wait to purchase tickets at the door, as we anticipate that tickets will sell out before the concert date. That means there may be standing room only on the day of the concert for those who did not purchase tickets in advance -- so you'll want to act now to secure your seats!
NEW WEBSITE!
We are delighted to announce that we have a brand new website, liveartsstringquartet.org. Here you may purchase tickets, make a donation, read about the LASQ, hear and view concert clips, and contact us.
MASS CULTURAL COUNCIL GRANT RECEIVED!
We are thrilled and grateful to announce that the LiveARTS String Quartet has been awarded a grant by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. These grants are highly competitive -- as a matter of fact, only 14% of grant applications were approved for funding in the recent grant cycle, and there were thousands of applications. That speaks volumes about how the Commonwealth's leading arts funding organization views the contribution of the LASQ to the artistic life of our community!
Along with the continued generous support of our patrons, this grant enables us to present additional concerts, including the one coming in May, and another one in early fall. More information will be forthcoming about the fall concert.
YOUR SUPPORT IS STILL NEEDED
Even with the MCC grant and a small concert admission price, it still takes more to make concerts of this caliber possible. Whether you have donated in the past to the LASQ, or this is your first time, now is your opportunity to join forces with the Massachusetts Cultural Council and be - or continue to be - a part of this pioneering effort by making your donation of any amount via our new website. Just click here, or, as you set up your May 17 concert ticket order, you may add a donation right within the order.
We thank you deeply for your support!
Now, with all that good news, we are super eager for May 17, when we'll all be transported to that place of beauty and respite that great music takes us -- so very needed in these times...
Here are the details again:
Sunday, May 17 at 3:00 p.m.
Franklin Historical Museum
80 West Central Street, Franklin
Masterworks by Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Schumann
We look forward to seeing you at the concert, and thank you for your support!
