Festival of Afro-Caribbean Composers

February 24th, there is a final event at St Paul's Church Hall, Lyford Cay at 5.30 in the afternoon. A one hour concert will feature the Chamber Group and Quatuor Mahogany, followed by a reception.

This Festival is only possible because of the continued support of the Nassau Music Society?s sponsors, particularly, Societe Generale Private Banking, its principal sponsor.


Atlantis has been very generous in helping to fund the event and the US Embassy is sponsoring the Concert for the Youth of The Bahamas. Regular annual sponsors including Pictet Bank and Trust, RoyalStar Assurance and Colina Insurance and this year the Endowment for the Performing Arts have all made this exceptional event possible and the Society is grateful for their generosity. Other sponsors not included at print time will be mentioned in future press releases.


Tickets for all concerts, with the exception of the Atlantis concert on Friday evening may be reserved on our website www.nassaumusicsociety.org or purchased at the following box offices: Logos Book Store, Harbour Bay Shopping Centre; Custom Computers, Cable Beach; Moir and Co, Lyford Cay Shopping Centre and Chapter One Bookstore, Oakes Field. There are reduced prices for members and in some cases free tickets are available provided membership is renewed or taken out before January 31, 2013. VIP tickets for the Saturday night concert must be purchased in advance. Tickets will also be available at the door provided that space is still available and on a first come, first served basis.

The last time the Nassau Music Society brought an orchestra to Nassau was when it hosted the Moscow Soloists in 2005 and they played to full houses. We anticipate the demand for tickets to this Festival to be heavy so it would be advisable to purchase your seats well in advance.
