NEW INITIATIVES

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. Most recently, on February 8, 2023 we visited the Grant Avenue Elementary School with the wonderful Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant winner the Ulysses 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!

NEW MUSIC COMMISSIONING OPPORTUNITIES

We are thrilled to announce the establishment of a fund for commissioning new works by emerging composers of any nationality. This fund will provide talented young composers with an opportunity to collaborate with the Salon's exceptionally gifted alumni and make a meaningful impact in their careers.

Through this initiative, The Salon de Virtuosi will commission several new works per season. Composers will be nominated by our distinguished alumni artists and selected by the Salon Board of Directors. Each commissioned work will be specially composed for the Salon de Virtuosi to be performed by Salon alumni in performances that will be scheduled in the following season.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new initiative!

We invite you to join us on this exciting musical journey by subscribing for a Salon season membership! As members, you will be invited to attend an entire season of concerts presented in 19th Century "salon" settings, where you will have the chance to hear and get to know exceptional young artists who are destined to become our future “greats.”

We rely on your generous support to fulfill the Salon’s vital mission of providing encouragement, performance opportunities, and financial assistance to our deserving young artists, which makes such a meaningful impact on the lives and careers of young artists.
