As sponsors of a remarkably talented and accomplished violinist and Festival Fellow, Anite Stroh, we have been privileged to play a small part in this memorable 2018 season. And we have had the special experience of watching and listening to her several performances while becoming friends.
It’s a blessing to sponsor a student each season. Over the past ten years, I’ve enjoyed getting to know “my” students over lunch at the beach, sitting on the campus lawn with a lobster roll, or chatting with a group of their new-found friends. They are the reason this Festival exists and they are the reason I keep coming back for more.
Sponsoring a young musician brings back memories of Bob's teen years, when he began playing in various orchestras and learning chamber music. This experience was the basis of a life-long passion for chamber music and is further enriched each summer in Maine. At the Festival, interacting with talented students like Georgina, allows us to hear about their dreams and ambitions, as well as offer our thoughts. This program has been uniquely rewarding.
