Scholarship Concert Reception

Friends of Music uses the Scholarship Concert Reception as an opportunity to thank its donors for their generosity and to award its annual honoree. University Professor Anthony Maiello was bestowed this honor for 2009. This year the Scholarship Concert and Reception took place on Sunday, May 3rd 2009 at the Center for the Performing Arts at the Fairfax campus. Approximately 107 guests were in attendance for the reception and were treated to delightful pastries compliments of the Swiss Bakery. The concert featured six outstanding students who won the 2009 Department of Music Concert Competition (Amanda Cook, Katherine Kane, Patricia Hussey, Sujin Kim, Claire Sampson, and Min Son), the George Mason University Symphony Orchestra, GMU Chorale, GMU Woman's Chorale, and GMU Singers. This concert was a momentous occasion as it was the last time Maiello will conduct the GMU Symphony as the head conductor. Photos below are from the reception and the concert.
