It is with great delight that after celebrating his 18th season with EMF, we can announce a new 3-year contract with our beloved Music Director, Gerard Schwarz. “We are delighted that our collaboration with Gerard Schwarz will continue,” said Melanie Tuttle, EMF Board Chair. “He brings so much to our festival every summer — music that is both energizing and thoughtful and a genuine love for our community here in Greensboro. Schwarz is an integral part of why our festival is so widely and highly regarded. He attracts and works with outstanding students, acclaimed faculty, and wonderful guest artists. The Board of Directors faced a very easy decision to renew our relationship with Jerry. We look forward to the coming seasons of magical music-making at EMF.” See article attached to read more: easternmusicfestival.org/eastern-music-festival-signs-new-contract-with-acclaimed-music-director-gerard-schwarz
