As I look over our calendar for this Autumn, I feel so lucky to be able to work with such a vibrant group of musicians and music-lovers. Thanks to all of you, the Cecilian Music Club has grown to have a fantastic and wide-reaching spectrum of programs. This year, we will be privileged to host our Showcase Recital at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, and I hope you will take advantage of this unique performance opportunity. From the dance rhythms of Uganda to the elegance of Viennese salons, the Cecilian Club provides us with a musical passport to new cultures and experiences as we continue to grow together. Most importantly, we are gifted with the chance to pass these adventures on to our students. The Cecilian Scholarship has, this summer, literally provided a passport to “life changing experiences” – as one of the recipients touchingly called it – thanks to the perseverant Scholarship Committee and to the dedication of Scholarship Chair, Barbara Lerro. With so many new opportunities, our organization continues to gain momentum and energy. Now is a wonderful time to bring your ideas to life, so do not hesitate to share your thoughts and suggestions. I’m looking forward to another exciting season with all of you!
Wishing you a very successful and fulfilling year, Marina Strakovsky
