Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series

Now in its 26th season, the Distinguished Artists Series brings world-renowned musicians to Salem several times each year. Sponsored by Willamette University and directed by music Professor Anita King, the program is supported through an endowment established by The Collins Foundation in the 1990s to honor the late Grace Goudy, an original trustee of the foundation.

The Series kicks off its 2009-10 season Sept. 18 with critically acclaimed clarinetist Richard Stoltzman and pianist Yehudi Wyner. The performance is part of a weeklong series of events cosponsored with the Salem Chamber Orchestra. Classical guitarist Xuefei Yang will perform Nov. 15 and the Brentano String Quartet April 11. All performances will be in Hudson Hall in the Rogers Music Center at Willamette University.
