Violist

Born in Guadeloupe, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was not only an outstanding violin virtuoso and composer in late 18th century Paris. He also excelled as a successful fencer and was Marie-Antoinette's favorite musician. As a composer of operas, symphonies, concertos and string quartets, he celebrated successes that Mozart was denied in France during his lifetime. His symphony opens the concert evening, followed by Mozart's Sinfonia concertante, performed by the married couple Meesun Hong and William Coleman. Beethoven's Eroica brings the evening to a crowning conclusion.

Mozarteum Foundation

Music for Food is a musician-led initiative to fight hunger in our local communities.  According to Feeding America, 1 in 9 people in the United States struggles with food insecurity. Music for Food’s concerts have raised funds to create close to 2 million meals.
Our mission: We believe both music and food are essential to human life and growth.  Music has the power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences work together to transform ineffable musical experiences into tangible and needed food resources.
Now in its 13 season, Music for Food presents a four-concert series in NEC's Brown Hall, "Notes from Across the Sea."
