Dear Friends:

Welcome to the fourth season of concerts by the Windham Chamber Music Festival at the Historic Windham Civic Centre. This summer we will be bringing six concerts of great chamber music by Bach, Debussy, Vivaldi, Verdi, Ravel, Mozart, Puccini, Joplin, Rossini, Gounod, Liszt, Francaix and Rachmaninoff.

We are grateful to Larry Tompkins, Carol Spear and the Centre Church Committee for their help and support, and for the opportunity to present these concerts in such a wonderful setting with such astonishing acoustics.

This season has been made possible with major funding from the Greene County Council on the Arts, the Catskill Savings Bank, Todaro’s Salumeria, the Peter R. and Cynthia K. Kellogg Foundation and two anonymous donors. We want to thank them and all of the area businesses and individuals who have become members of the WCMF and have generously helped us continue to bring these concerts to Windham.

Special thanks go also to Peter and Sarah Finn and the Catskill Mountain Foundation for their generous support, to Oscar and Kopper Newman for their generosity and creative input, and to our concert volunteers who include Lou and Betty Marchiony, Stewart Budd and Erica Bihari.

And last but not least, to the you, the listeners: thank you for coming, thank you for your support, and we sincerely hope you enjoy these concerts as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.

Bob Manno and
Magdalena Golczewski
