TextMusic Friends Concerts at the Alden 2011-2012
The Premier Showcase for Great Chamber Music in Northern Virginia
This free classical music series, now in its 37th season, features professional musicians who have won international recognition for their artistry. The new season’s series also includes four Young Soloists Recitals that will showcase the talents of local school-age musicians.
During the 2012-2012 series of Music Friends’ Concerts at the Alden, we are highlighting several young performers who we feel are destined for greatness in the world of classical music. We are honored to present them and hope that our loyal audiences will support them and enjoy their concerts.
