RHEA LaVECK

Memorial Concert Series

www.laveckconcerts.org

Designed to celebrate the memory of longtime Pulaski, NY musician Rhea LaVeck, this classical chamber music series aims to bring world-class musical performances to the people of Pulaski and the surrounding areas.

Guest artists have been selected not only for their high level of musicianship, but also for their warmth and commitment to sharing their gifts with the audience. You can expect concerts to celebrate the highest echelons of musical attainment--but in a relaxed, welcoming, friendly environment. Come as you are! Jeans, shorts, t-shirts…..We particularly welcome you if you have never (yet) experienced classical music. Artists will introduce works from the stage, and will be accessible to the audience at post-concert receptions.

We would love to see as many students and young people in our audience as possible. If you are viewing this document as a music educator, please be in contact with us to see how we can set up an artist visit to your school or organization.

Concerts take place at the Pulaski Congregational Church, 27 Lake Street, Pulaski NY. Typically, concerts occur one Saturday evening a month, but check the LaVeck website for more specifics on dates, artists, and times.

See you at the concert!
