A limited number of tickets are available.
All proceeds from this annual fundraising event will be used to mount our 2017 Season productions; Maurice Ravel’s Don Pasquale and Jules Massenet’s Don Quixote.
Our musical festivities will begin with a few pieces by the young musicians of Alameda String Academy. These little fiddlers are our future string section.
Then you’ll be carried away by the music of Island City Opera stars, and, of course, the incomparable Frederica von Stade.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”10″ element_width=”3″ gap=”15″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1477682618868-79978b68-be32-8″ taxonomies=”18″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Erica Ward founded the Alameda String Academy in 2013 after moving to Alameda with her family and falling in love with the island, with the aim of bringing beautiful music to our community, especially chamber music.
In the past few years Alameda String Academy has grown from just an idea to a community of 50 musicians learning together, playing together and performing together.
Our students take weekly lessons in violin, viola, cello and guitar from our talented faculty – who also join together to perform in the local community to bring some of the world’s greatest chamber music to Alameda.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1270″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”img_link_large”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
