OUR FRIENDS, ANGELA YOFFE AND VADIM GLUZMEN kept their educational projects “alive” during this summer of Wuhan and unrest in Chicago as their annual AND AWAITED North Shore Chamber Music Festival was cancelled owing to the pandemic.
They did a four week program “SUMMER INTENSIVE” at the Betty Haag Academy of Music (bettyhagg.com) with the Magical Strings of Youth performing group. This group of string players of all ages are billed as Ambassadors of Hope. They have performed widely on TV, for world leaders and even the pope. PFW’s grant has helped for many years to provide very low cost training to the students of this school which is dedicated to training youth beginning in pre-school. These students have always performed locally at local community libraries, and community centers for FREE. The students will present two streaming concerts over the Holidays on December 19th and 20th which will be streamed as their annual event annual event a Orchestra Hall, home of the Chicago symphony will not be possible owing to the pandemic. Students at Betty Haag had four weeks program “Summer Intense”
Vadim and Angela 
have sent their thanks Thank you so much for PFW’s amazing help all those years, it means a lot for both of us! Without your support we would not be able to launch Creative Learning programs at NORTH SHORE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL (NSCMF).
