This is the 13th annual Roslyn Young Memorial Concert. The Roslyn Young Memorial was founded by Young’s family to honor her love of music by offering an annual classical music concert. A Guilford native, Young received her early training in violin at the Neighborhood Music School. Her musical studies took her to Austria, where she earned her diploma in violin and viola at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Young’s career was based in the New York area, where she performed on viola and baroque viola in numerous ensembles and summer music festivals, including the Connecticut Early Music Festival. Young died tragically of cancer at the age of 46.
Tickets are $20, available at the door, under 18 admitted free. For more information, contact Nathan Bayreuther at 203-245-2739, ext. 12, or rymconcert@gmail.com, or find “Roslyn Young Memorial” on Facebook.
