From OCLW’s newsletter:

On Sunday, March 12, internationally celebrated and locally championed violinist Jennifer Curtis will perform an intimate solo concert to benefit OCLW. The performance will feature an original composition and works of Mozart and Enescu.

Jennifer, a Chapel Hill native, has gone from Carolina Friends School to Juilliard to Carnegie Hall and beyond. The New York Times called her second solo Carnegie Hall performance “one of the gutsiest and most individual recital programs.” Jennifer is a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and a founder of Tres Americas Ensemble. She has premiered works at the Mostly Mozart Festival and performed with the Simon Bolivar Orchestra in Venezuela.

Jennifer sees music as the best form of cultural outreach. She has collaborated with Kurdish refugees from Turkey and improvised for live radio from the interior of the Amazon. In recognition of people separated by the border wall, she performed in Tijuana, while families visited from both sides of the barrier.

Celebrate Jennifer’s virtuosity – and the work of other locals making good by paying their employees a living wage. Please reserve your tickets now for her March 12, 2 p.m. benefit performance at Greenbridge Condominiums’ Sky Lounge, 601 W Rosemary St. Chapel Hill, NC 27516
