Dear Friends,
It was wonderful to see so many of you for Music in the Park recently!
A quick reminder that our 26th Season begins this weekend, on September 24 in Andover and September 25 in Brookline.
It has been said that more than any other composer, Mozart has the life-affirming superpower to make us feel happy to be alive. I chose this mostly-Mozart program in light of all that is going on in the world that regularly threatens our ability to stay afloat in both heart and mind.
We are so pleased to welcome back Gloria Chien to our stage for a chamber performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto in A Major, K. 414. Gloria has been selected by the Boston Globe as one of the Superior Pianists of the year, “. . . who appears to excel in everything,” and praised her for “a wondrously rich palette of colors, which she mixes with dashing bravado and with an uncanny precision of calibration…Chien's performance had it all, and it was fabulous." My cellist/conductor son Sasha is back from Amsterdam to play this concert, along with four other favorite Mistral artists: Gabby, Don, Stephanie, and Sarita.

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. (All book info at www.JulieScolnik.com) Available through Indie Booksellers, and Amazon. (Would be thrilled to join your bookclubs if interested!)

“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
