Carnegies in Concert
Renowned violinist Monique Mead will be joined by her husband, internationally acclaimed violinist Andrés Cárdenes, and their two remarkably talented children, Isabel, 12, on harp and Tino, 10, on piano, as Menard Presents: Carnegies in Concert 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall. The concert will bring faculty, alumni and students from Carnegie Mellon University’s elite School of Music to the ACFL&MH’s acoustically superb Music Hall for an eclectic showcase of musical talent and styles. Performing in addition to Cardenes and Mead will be C Street Brass, recent graduates of CMU who describe themselves as being “equally at home with the baroque sound as with ‘dubstep,'” and CMU cello major Caitlin Quinlan, an up and coming singer/songwriter who will perform three songs from her new album.
Carnegies in Concert benefits the campaign to restore and revitalize the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall. The concert will be followed by supper provided by Michael Lench Catering. The reception will take place in the new Lincoln Gallery and in the Library itself – a sneak preview of the Library’s brand new interior restoration.
Tickets are $125 ($90 tax-deductible) for reserved orchestra seats and $75 ($40 tax deductible) for open balcony seating.
