Dear Sponsors and Friends,

I hope you have come out of confinement safely and in good spirits, and that these few months of introspection have strengthened your dedication to the essential things in life… such as music!

As the sanitary situation in Salento appears to be stable, we have taken the decision to go ahead with a compact version of Muse Salentine in September so as to keep the flame alive. There will be four concerts. One of the young Trio Zadig, on September 12th, then, on the 14th, a recital from the Finnish pianist Laura Mikkola, finally, two concerts by our friends Olga Pashchenko and Chouchane Siranossian on the 16th and the 17th. One will be devoted to baroque music on period instruments, the second to the romantic repertoire.

Most concerts that were planned for August 2020 will be postponed to next year and you will receive the programme as soon as we know what the sanitary and legal future holds for us.

For September, we will not advertise our concerts widely and we will take all necessary measures to limit the number of spectators and conform to the required safety restrictions. The concerts will be rather intimate, so please make sure to book your seats well in advance.

I’d like to seize this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to those who have contributed to Muse this year, notwithstanding the circumstances. For performing artists, life is and will very remain difficult in the coming months and your help is highly appreciated.

Looking forward to seeing you soon and have a nice summer.

Charles
