Welcome back to our 6th season of
We are ALL Music’s Children!

SEPTEMBER’s Child…

London, England: circa 1955

What an old soul looks out of this young  face! She’s a kindred spirit to another whose face, less mobile, haunts this issue of the WholeNote.

More coincidences? Both have acquired a penchant for ribbons. Each in their own ways has crossed oceans, continents, and centuries to delight audiences. Both continue to inspire string players to free “the human voice.”

Think you know who SEPTEMBER’s child is? Send your best guess to musicschildren@thewholenote.com

(please provide your mailing address, just in case your name is drawn!)

Winners will be selected by random draw among correct replies received by September 20, 2009.
