"The celebrated Chicago-based Lincoln Trio - made up of Desirée Ruhstrat, violin, David Cunliffe, cello and Marta Aznavoorian, piano - has been described by 'The Strad' as "sensational...bewitching."
Formed in 2003, the Lincoln Trio takes its name from their home, the heartland of the United States, the land of Lincoln. The trio has been praised for its polished presentations of well-known chamber works and its ability to forge new paths with contemporary repertoire. The group’s reputation as a first-rate ensemble draws an eclectic audience of sophisticated music lovers, young admirers of contemporary programs and students discovering chamber music for the first time.
Bringing together performing experience spanning the globe, each member is an artist of international renown. Violinist Desirée Ruhstrat has performed throughout the US and Europe, appearing at the White House and performing on live radio broadcast heard around the world with the Berlin Radio Orchestra; cellist David Cunliffe has performed with the BBC and Royal Scottish orchestras as well as touring as a member of the Balanescu Quartet; pianist Marta Aznavoorian has appeared with the Chicago Symphony and has performed at the Kennedy Center and the Sydney Opera House. . . ." read more at Lincoln Trio website: www.LincolnTrio.com
Noel Morris, WFMT producer of Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughin
"Since joining CD Syndications in 1994, award-winning producer Noel Morris has emerged as a leader in the creation of innovative classical radio programming.
In 2003, Noel was named Producer for WFMT’s new groundbreaking daily radio program Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin. Now in its thirteenth season, her production Indianapolis On-the-Air with Raymond Leppard and Rich Kleinfeldt debuted on an extraordinary 150 radio stations and has been a favorite with public radio audiences ever since.
She created Center Stage from Wolf Trap with Rich Kleinfeldt and Bill McGlaughlin in 1999 and the program was an instant success. Her productions are widely regarded for their casual but informative style, breaking down the barriers for newer listeners of classical music, while continuing to entice the classical music veteran. In 2001,
Noel became producer for the Choral Arts Society of Washington radio specials, which emanate from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D. C." Source: CD Syndications

Letter from the Organizer
We are dedicating this Sunday's Lively Arts of Chicago's Music in the Neighborhood in Rogers Park to
Fredda Hyman who died Dec 1, 2011. She was the founder and artistic director of Music in the Loft
a highly successful and beloved classical chamber music series held in the loft where she and her husband
Sidney Hyman lived.
For 20 years Fredda promoted upcoming and young talented musicians and composers and the chamber music they
played whether the old masters or new, in fact, unknown talented musicians and composers.
She loved children and began a series called Classics for Kids which for a few years enjoyed success
and popularity at the Chicago Cultural Center. Those programs no longer exist but remain as an inspiration
for Music in the Neighborhood. These programs have been inspired by the lack of music education in most
Chicago Public Schools. Studies show that students who are exposed to early music education develop
stronger reading and math skills than those who have not had such an experience.
"The basis of any kind of art appreciation for children must be participatory, says Michael Tilson Thomas.""And the very act of going to a concert and learning what to listen for once you're is a way of participating"
Michael Tilson Thomas (born Dec 21,1944) is an American conductor, pianist and composer. He is currently
music director of the San Francisco Symphony and artistic director of the New World Symphony Orchestra.
