SCHOLARSHIP BENEFIT CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT

The String Academy of Wisconsin will present its 2008 Arts Leadership Award to Dr. Erwin O. Hirsch at the school’s Scholarship Benefit Concert. Dr. Hirsch is the retired Dean of Students at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He also served for many years on the String Academy Board of Directors. It is with great pleasure that we honor him for his many contributions to the music community here in Milwaukee.

Please join us for an evening of music and to pay tribute to Dr. Hirsch. The program will feature solo and ensemble performances by String Academy students.
