This Sunday: The Fred Kelley Scholarship Concert Dear Friends, We invite you to celebrate the memory of a great friend and to support the Fred Kelley Scholarship Fund. Join us this Sunday, May 2 at 2 pm at the RISD Museum Grand Gallery for a performance by the Donegal String Quartet, featuring CMW Players EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks, Ealaín McMullin, Jesse Holstein and special guest Heath Marlow. Fred Kelley, a CMW supporter who loved chamber music, passed away after a brief illness in 2007. Fred’s son, Mike, is a member of the ensemble in residence for the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music in Nelson, New Hampshire. Apple Hill’s central mission is to bring people of diverse backgrounds and cultures together to study and perform chamber music together through their Playing for Peace program. It seemed a fitting tribute to form the Fred Kelley Scholarship Fund to honor his memory. The Community MusicWorks Fred Kelley Scholarship helps to send CMW students to Apple Hill to study chamber music with friends from all over the world. Last year, the Fund was able to send six students to Apple Hill in August. This year, we have the largest number of applicants to date. With tuition running at $1,700 per student to attend the ten-day chamber music workshop, the Scholarship Fund needs your support. 100% of your tax-exempt donation will go to sending a CMW student to Apple Hill this summer. No donation is too small (or too big!). We hope to see you there!
