Music of the Masters celebrates, supports Aber Suzuki Center

Celebrate and support the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Aber Suzuki Center at the 22nd annual Music of the Masters fundraising event.

Held Saturday, Nov. 8, in the Noel Fine Arts Center on the UW-Stevens Point campus, the evening begins at 6 p.m. with cocktails, appetizers and music provided by string quartets and pianists. A musical program featuring Suzuki students, faculty and alumni takes place at 7 p.m. in Michelsen Hall, followed by desserts, beverages and door prize drawings at 8 p.m.

The evening’s proceeds will provide funds for need-based scholarships. Music of the Masters has raised more than $130,000 since its inception in 1994.

The event honors the center’s late founder, Margery Aber, who was born 100 years ago, said center director Pat D’Ercole. “Our theme, ‘Change a Life: Give Music to a Child in Need,’ represents how Margery lived her life.  She believed, like all of us at the center, that every child deserves the opportunity to learn to express themselves through music.”

Tickets are $45 before Oct. 27, or $50 after. Tickets may be purchased online at the University Information and Tickets Office in the Dreyfus University Center, at the Aber Suzuki Center office in the Noel Fine Arts Center or by calling 715-346-3033.

This year’s sponsors include Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, Sentry Insurance, Len Dudas Motors, Matsu Ya Sushi Bar and Grill, HL Digital Direct and Dekaios Designs. For more information about the Aber Suzuki Center or its programs, go to www.uwsp.edu/suzuki.
