YAVAPAI SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION
JANUARY 16, 2025 PRESIDENT’S NOTES

The YSA Board of Directors joins me in welcoming you to the world
renowned Dover Quartet. Named one of the greatest string quartets
of the last 100 years, the Dover Quartet is one of the world’s most in demand
chamber ensembles. The Dover Quartet’s faculty residency
is at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Tonight, they will
be performing Mozart’s Quarter No. 21, Mendelssohn’s Quartet No. 4
and Tchaikovsky’s Quartet No. 1.

We hope you are looking forward to our Saturday, February 8th concert
in just three weeks, when we will be welcoming back the Arizona State
University Symphony Orchestra featuring Edward Elgar’s beautiful
Cello Concerts and presenting works by two American Composers;
William Schumann and William Dawson.

In this program, you can find a page about the Yavapai Symphony
Association Music Scholarship Awards. This is a significant way in
which YSA helps perpetuate classical music, by supporting Yavapai
County students who seek musical careers. If you know a student who
fits this profile, please tell them about our scholarships. Details are on
our website, yavapaisymphony.org.

Our concerts this season are supported by the generosity of our
corporate sponsor, Findlay Prescott Subaru. We look forward to a
continuing relationship with this organization that is committed to
supporting classical music in the greater Prescott area.

Yavapai Symphony Association
