NEW MUSIC COMMISSIONING OPPORTUNITIES
Last season the Salon presented a new work by composer Zhou Tian commissioned especially for the Salon and performed by Salon alumna Claire Huangci. This season we are thrilled to continue our initiative to support the creation of new works by creating a new award for works by emerging young composers.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new initiative!

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
The Salon is dedicated to providing opportunities for our talented young artists to share their gifts with the broader community, as a way of connecting, inspiring and providing comfort and healing. We have found these experiences to be incredibly meaningful to both
audiences and artists alike.
We are excited to be back in the NYC public schools to continue our initiative to introduce young students to classical music and our inspiring young classical musicians. Last season we visited Grant Avenue Elementary School in the Bronx with The Green Room Ensemble and the Ivalas Quartet. Everyone had a great time!
In addition, during the pandemic the Salon partnered with the Aizuri Quartet in co-sponsoring a series of educational videos for young audiences accessible to music teachers and public schools across the country. These episodes are available on their website, which you can access HERE . Be sure to share these jewels with young audiences, teachers, and music lovers everywhere!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
We are also thrilled to continue our collaboration with the Mt. Sinai Hospital to bring the uplifting sounds of music to patients, doctors and staff. Last season our alumni presented two concerts at Mount Sinai Hospital West (with Nikka Gershman, flute and friends and the Ivalas Quartet). We plan to continue these important outreach efforts and present four more live events at these venues during the coming season.
