Click on the photo for a video teaser of our Season Finale!

Dear Friends,
Happy Spring! (finally)

Thank you for the warm welcome you gave us at our final concert of the season in April. It was sheer joy to see your smiling faces enjoying our program for winds and strings, "Flights of Fancy." The full video will be released soon - for now, please take a look at how much fun we had by watching our video teaser.

We had a wonderful time at The Mozart Society Dinner on May 12. Over good wine, cheese, North African fish tagine, and a live performance by Mistral members Sarita Kwok and Sophie Scolnik-Brower, we celebrated our twenty-fifth year of bringing an intimate concert experience to music lovers in the Merrimack Valley and the Boston area.

Amidst great conversation, we came to the conclusion that, if there is an upside of this never-ending pandemic, it is realizing that reconnecting with simpler joys and small pleasures is what keeps us going, and for music lovers, sharing music with family and friends is front and center.

I wanted to let you know that I am hard at work on the programming for next season. We only just got our dates from our venues so I have been a bit in limbo waiting. But lots of exciting ideas are brewing!

In the meantime, we ask you kindly to save our dates for our 26th Season.

2022-2023

Sat September 24 Andover Sun September 25 Brookline
Sat November 12 Andover Sun November 13 Brookline
Sat December 3 Brookline Sun Dec 4 Andover (note day swap)

The full video of our season finale, Flights of Fancy, will be available very soon at no charge. And again, if you subscribe to our channel, you'll get an automatic notification about all new videos that we post!

Have a wonderful summer, and we will be in touch very soon!
Julie (julscol@me.com). I always love to hear from you.

PS if you have friends in Paris who might like to come to a short concert/book event on May 27, please let me know and I will forward an announcement to them. Thank you!

Thanks so much to those of you who have already read my memoir. Beyond the thrill of finally seeing it in print after so many decades, I am touched by the daily emails from readers who tell me it resonated deeply with them and brought back stories of their own.

“Not every true story is like a good novel, but this one is. Not every memoir of first love has a satisfying ending, but this one does. The confluence of first love with becoming an artist makes this memoir special.” —John Irving
