Greeting Andreas Schulz, Gewandhaus Director

Dear Friends of the Gewandhaus Orchestra,

We are pleased and proud to announce the launch of the American Friends of the Gewandhaus Orchestra this season. I would like to extend my special thanks to all those who have helped make this ambitious and wonderful project possible, thus opening up a "new world" to the Gewandhaus Orchestra. The founding of the American Friends is an important step in the Gewandhaus Orchestra's future cooperation with many concert halls in the USA, and I am delighted that we are now able to give the American public a greater awareness of the unmistakable sound and unique character of the Gewandhaus Orchestra.

Andreas Schulz
Gewandhaus Director
