an illustrious and versatile career as a performing musician and professor

A Message from Dr. Marie Jureit-Beamish, Director

Words from Founding Director of the Sunset Concerts at the Gallery, Dr.
Marie Jureit-Beamish, Professor Emerita of Music from Principia College
and formerly the Charles Stewart Harding Mott Distinguished Professor of
Music:

“The arts nurture and feed our souls and are essential to life. Having
performed in art galleries here and abroad, it had long been a hope of mine
to bring together the visual and performing arts together right here on the
Treasure Coast. The ever-changing displays of art in our gallery plus the
ideal size and acoustic for music, afford the perfect setting for presenting
music and art in one artistic experience. I also love the idea of providing the
opportunity for artists of all ages from the Treasure Coast to be able to
share their love of music in our tenth season of “Sunset Concerts at the
Gallery.”

Thank you for coming to the concert!
