Friends of Music Concerts is over-joyed to announce that its chamber music season will return to the stage in Westchester. Beginning September 12, the group will present world-class musicians at the Kusel Auditorium in Sleepy Hollow.
“We are thrilled to finally be able to present live chamber music again,” said Susan Harris, the non-profit’s president. “And to make this season even more special, we have added an extra concert in November. So we will present seven performances in the 2020-2021 season.”
When the pandemic forced the organization to cancel last season it offered concerts online through its website. In preparing for the re-launch of a live concert season, it knew that safety would be at the top of mind for its audience.
So it surveyed its subscribers and found overwhelming support for a return to concerts if everyone was vaccinated. As tickets have gone on sale, the organization is making it clear that attendance is limited to the fully vaccinated.
Prices for a full season subscription will stay the same at $140 representing a savings of 40 percent over the cost of single tickets, which remain unchanged at $35.
The full schedule of performances includes a number of Grammy nominated and internationally acclaimed musicians.
