Supporting Classical Musicians in a Time of Need
Donations from our supporters and a grant from ArtsWestchester made is possible for us to present streaming performances during the pandemic. These limited run engagements provided some income to professional musicians who were deprived of their livelihood during this painful period. Friends Of Music Concerts is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to advancing chamber music in Westchester County, New York. We hope you’ll join the community. You can participate in our Facebook group to spread the word and consider a donation. When in-person concerts begin in September, we hope to see you. We have a full schedule planned for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. You’ll find details on this page.
