Their consistent generosity and that of the Holzer Foundation made possible the growth and development of the series and has enabled it to become an important part of the cultural life of this area. There is a pre-concert talk with the artists at 7pm. All events take place in the Eric Brown Theater at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, 411 East Clinton Avenue in Tenafly.  Thurnauer School of Music at 201-408-1465 or visit www.jccotp.org/thurnauer [4].
