Tuesday/Friday 1:00pm Recital Series-- provides an hour-long showcase
for San Francisco State University music students and an opportunity for
students to hear their peers, as well as faculty and guest artists.
Evening and weekend Senior and Graduate recitals-- are the culminating
experience for SFSU undergraduate and graduate music students majoring
in music performance.
The Morrison Artists Series--
was created as part of the Morrison Chamber Music Center in 1952. The Center
exists in two parts: the concert Program or Artists Series and the Instructional
Program. The Alexander
String Quartet continues as Quartet-in-Residence, coaching young chamber
musicians from the SFSU Music Department. In cooperation with San Francisco
Performances, the Quartet also brings its special music making and coaching
to aspiring young musicians in local schools and community groups.
The Center is supported by funds from the
May Treat Morrison Estate. Mrs. Morrison, a native San Franciscan, graduated
from the University of California in 1878 in one of the first classes
which admitted women. When she died in 1939, she bequeathed half of her
fortune to the University of California and left the other half in trust
to her friend and counsel, Edward Hohfeld, for educational purposes. Grants
from this trust have established the Morrison Planetarium in Golden Gate
Park and the Morrison Rehabilitation Center, as well as the Morrison Chamber
Music Center.
The Morrison Artists Series has been fortunate
to have as its directors musicians of stature and vision. Violist Ferenc
Molnar pioneered the project and served more than 20 years. He was followed
briefly by violinist/conductor Andor Toth. For 16 years, Laszlo Varga,
the eminent cellist/conductor and professor emeritus at San Francisco
State University, nurtured a program that became synonymous with his name.
The Artists Series is a Bay Area treasure,
offering music by internationally acclaimed chanber groups free of charge
to a discriminating public. In so doing, we continue to fulfill Mr. Hohfeld's
dream "to offer the finest music in the most accessible way."
For more information, or to put your
name on the Artists Series USPS mailing list, please call (415) 338-1358.
All Morrison Artists Series performances
take place in McKenna Theatre, San Francisco State University, at 3 pm
