Tis the season of the Eastern Music Festival (EMF). The above photo is of Dana Auditorium on the Guilford College Campus. The banners, between the columns, announce the EMF festival. It is a summer training program for talented musicians from across the country. They come to Greensboro and study music for six weeks over the summer, while gaining experience by performing for the local community.
In 1961, Sheldon Morgenstern established The Guilford Musical Arts Center, which became the Eastern Music Festival. The first summer camp for student musicians was held in 1962 and continues to this day. The 200 musicians stay on the Guilford College campus, but travel throughout the Greensboro community bring music to people from all walks of life. The EMF program places considerable emphasis on outreach. In other words, it is important that the musicians have a presence in Greensboro, whether they are performing for a retirement community, a religious organization, or at MUSEP. Here is the full calendar of events. They began on June 29th and will conclude on Saturday, August 1st. There is still a little time to enjoy one of their performances!
I like the architectural style.
