from the Artistic Directors DREW presents Dear Friends,

It is always a pleasure to return to the Concert Hall at Drew, and we are thrilled to bring three very special programs to this unsurpassed venue for the 2013-2014 season. Each concert is devoted to music of, or inspired by, a specific culture. The first features three giants of AT The Concert Hall at Drew University the Germanic tradition, while the second delves into the rich French repertoire for two pianos and piano four hands, culminating in an interloper’s take on the great City of Lights. The season closes with a look at the end of the Tsarist era, featuring music rich in the romance and poetry of turn-of-the-century Russia. We encourage you to take the earliest opportunity to reserve your seats for this very special musical exploration and look forward to seeing you at the concerts!

Best wishes,

David Finckel
