PFW is continuing its granting to the North Shore Musical Festival in Northbrook, IL this June 5th, 7th, & 8th under the leadership of VADMIM GLUZMAN, Artistic Director, and ANGELA YOFFE, Executive Director. We are especially impressed with your commitment to continue and expand your educational outreach to the over 100 students who will be included in the educational portion of the series entitled The Next Generation on stage” which is made possible through the generosity from many of the artists, whom you have been able to attract to the festival and who will also share their talents these student musicians. The opportunity to listen, learn and play with some of the world’s most renowned artists in master classes is an experience of a lifetime. Your understanding that the language of music can instill in a student the curiosity to explore their own creativity, nurture their ambitions and influence them to continue honing their skills so that, perhaps, they can realizing their dreams, is applauded. Your unique programming reaches out to all ethnic groups, and your stimulating program helps to enrich communities and strengthen community spirits – as music explores the diversity of human emotions through its multi-faceted palate.
