이번 음악회의 하이라이트는 누가 보아도 서울음대 교수 이경선 동문의 무대이지만 이에 못지않게 뜻깊은 프로그램이 음악회의 전반부에서 펼쳐집니다. 시카고에 거주하는 서울음대 동문들 ---- 바이올린에 홍용희 (82), 이은영 (86), 김상균 (97), 백선기 (99) 동문, 첼로에 김은경(82), 이수정(86) 동문, 피아노에 이소정(84), 김귀염(93) 동문, 성악에 김기봉(87), 라은실(87) 동문이 모두 장학 사업에 뜻을 같이 하여 연주에 참여합니다.

음악회에 참석하실 분은 김호범 회장님께 이메일이나 전화로 알려 주시면 됩니다. 음악회장이 170 석 밖에 되지 않아 매진될 수도 있겠으니 조속히 알려 주시면 감사하겠습니다. 티켓은 50불이며 좌석은 오픈입니다.

행복한 9월 되시고 10월 4일 토요일 4시 음악회장에서 뵙겠습니다.
