The 2019 Pelham Music Festival was amazing! Thank you so much to everybody who made it possible:
Bob Eicher, the festival's founder and patron.
Anne Boorman & Frank Stankus for a great handover, and ongoing support.
The new team, Rose Horley, Colleen Maiberger, Babak Rassi, Josh Wallach, Ellen Weiss, Tom White, Paula Wood.

Steinway & Sons for providing us with a wonderful piano.
Pelham Civics for their financial support.
Frank Ramunno from Lasting Impressions Photography for taking excellent photos, and having them printed, framed, and ready for pick-up by the time each session ended.
The performers themselves for working so hard to prepare their pieces, and performing so beautifully for us, and their family and friends who support them in their musical journey.
All the private and public school teachers who encouraged their students to register, and helped them prepare.
PMF accompanists Sheila Simpson & Vatche Jambazian.
Sister Beth, and Songcatchers, who offer quality, accessible music instruction to those for whom lessons would otherwise be an unaffordable luxury - and always send us amazing performers!
