���� ������ The PLG Vision
�
�
Following exacting PLG auditions, some 30 new young artists are presented each year in the Group's New Year Series in the Purcell Room.� During the PLG's 47 years, approximately 1300 young musicians have taken part in the Series and a substantial proportion have become leading artists.
�
The PLG's adventurous and imaginative programming coupled with the well-known high quality of its Young Artists means that the performances are heard by discerning audiences, including promoters and festival organisers.� Many music critics are also present, which has resulted in the PLG platform being supported by a wealth of perceptive press reviews.�� The concerts are recorded.
�
The vision of the Park Lane Group is clear enough and is well demonstrated by the exciting and interesting events in the 2003/04 Season. The financial challenge is to ensure that such seasons continue.�
�
The Group must raise money for everyone of its events.� It has often found these resources from enlightened individuals in large and small amounts and their help has been, in the real sense of the word, a blessing.
�
With its charitable status, the PLG welcomes support from individuals, trusts, foundations,
companies and corporations.�����
�
Membership of The Friends of the PLG is a simple method of individual support and brings the advantages of :
��������� � Priority booking;
����������� Reduced ticket prices;
��������� � Attendance at event receptions;
���� Complimentary attendance at additional events, eg:
the Launch Party, Monday 10 November, Chelsfield Room, Royal Festival Hall;
the Alexander Markov recital, Saturday 24 April, Wigmore Hall;
the Spring in Park Lane events during May.
�
���� And - knowing that you are playing a vital role in the future of the PLG.
�
Please complete the form below.��� Your support will be deeply appreciated.
