Dear Meadowmount Family,
Meadowmount 2019 was a landmark summer – our 75th Anniversary. And after all these many years, we still offer the very best of what Meadowmount is known for throughout the world.
Special Guest Artists helping us celebrate this summer were alumni Ani Kavafian, James Ehnes and Lynn Harrell. The Ehnes Quartet was featured on the Annual Benefit Concert, August 4. Additional guests in the summer included pianists Lydia Artymiw and Dmitri Vorobiev (who was in the first class of piano students in1993) and violist Daniel Avshalomov.
The summer saw three cocktail parties in the Galaxian Studio: July 20 when Ani Kavafian was in-residence, July 27: Ivan Chan and Mary Rowell visited to for the jury for the String Quartet Play-off Competition, and August 4: James Ehnes Quartet performed at the Benefit Concert. It was nice to re-connect with alumni from both recent and distant summers.
While we continue to renovate and re-imagine the facilities, I am very happy to let you know that the Sally Thomas Recreation Center is in full use and saw its second summer recreation and wellness. It is a stunning modern, air-conditioned space of 2500 sq. ft. with enormous windows and lots of wood. In addition to the ping-pong/pool table hall, there are centers for chess and board games, casual conversation, a large classroom, two massage rooms and four quartet rehearsal studios. It is really quite beautiful and provides the students a greater sense of community. Follow this link to a video walk-through: Link To Sally G Thomas Recreation Building
Despite a number of big changes, the Meadowmount Experience I promote and the Meadowmount Experience you enjoyed and believed in is still very much the same and very much alive through our 75-year existence. As all of our alumni know, Meadowmount is more than just a name with a history. It’s an idea. It is also a discipline: a strenuous seven weeks in the Adirondacks that have produced more than a few tears but, more importantly, has produced an incredible amount of accomplishment and success. I am committed to keeping this idea alive.
Please check this website frequently for announcements and memories. If you are in the area, we would be honored to have you join us. As family, you are always welcome!
Sincerely,
Eric Larsen
