Jekyll Island Welcomes Franklin Pond
The Faculty Quartet of Franklin Pond Chamber Music (made up of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra musicians) will present a concert in Faith Chapel Saturday, August 2 at 7:00 for $15/person. The Student Showcase concert is Sunday, August 3 at 7:00 also in Faith Chapel for $10/person.
Tickets are available for sale at Goodyear Cottage in the Historic District, Jekyll Realty and Parker Kaufman Realtors at the shopping center. Seating is limited so advance reservations are encouraged.
Franklin Pond, an Atlanta-based classical string quartet program for talented young musicians, will return for the fourth year to rehearse and perform on Jekyll Island. Already this year Franklin Pond has performed at the Carter Library in Atlanta, Georgia. Each year, rehearsals are held for four student string quartets. Each quartet rehearses together throughout the summer and participates in a 4-day retreat to Jekyll Island, where they perform in the Historic District. Franklin Pond is a non-profit organization.
The Jekyll Island Arts Association is co-sponsoring this program with the Museum Department of the Historic District because we feel the importance of helping in the development of musical art.
