Ithaca College is pleased to present the Enduring Masters, a concert series featuring musicians performing and reflecting on aging and their art.
The Enduring Masters series hosts some of today’s most prominent performers, composers, and educators, including Billy Taylor (age 86), Karel Husa (age 86), Joan Tower (age 69), George Tsontakis, and Steve Brown. All Enduring Masters concerts take place at the Ithaca College School of Music.
In addition to the Enduring Masters series, Ithaca College coordinates the "Voices for Creative Aging" program, which will 1) organize outreach between Ithaca College student ensembles and aging communities and 2) sponsor concerts featuring elder community musicians and underrepresented music. Voices for Creative Aging will continue to sponsor programs until March 2009.
All concerts are free and open to the public. For the Enduring Masters concerts, Ithaca College will work to provide special transportation to accommodate elderly community members. Please contact Tom Kline for additional information.
