An evening of classical music by young musicians
View(s):The Lionel Wendt Memorial Fund (LWMF) will, on Friday January 17, present the ‘Young Musicians at the Wendt’ — a biannual concert series — to nurture and showcase the talents of outstanding young musicians.
Since its inception, the LWMF has been promoting the arts, living up to the founding principles of Lionel Wendt himself.
This valuable initiative was taken by the LWMF trustees as a contribution towards the continuity of classical music concerts in Sri Lanka in the years to come.
Young Musicians at the Wendt concert series will be part of the LWMF’s outreach programme with a vision to promote the Arts in Sri Lanka.
The young musicians selected for this concert have already performed in public before and earned a reputation for being fine performers with much promise for the future. Most of them are award-winning young musicians and the audience can look forward to an enjoyable evening of classical music.
These young musicians deserve public recognition and the LWMF trustees hope that the music-loving public will support and encourage these young musicians with their presence on January 17.
Tickets priced at Rs. 1,500, Rs. 1,000, Rs. 800 and Rs. 500 (balcony) are available the Lionel Wendt ticket counter.
