Mark your calendars for the April 18th Tuesday Talk with singer Leslie Luxemburg, President of the Friday Morning Music Club, who will present an introduction to the Club, founded in 1886. The club is dedicated to presenting classical music, and not just on Fridays. It supports a full orchestra, a chorale, a composer’s group, at-home music groups, and outreach programs to retirement and nursing homes. The Club was one of 5 organizations/individuals to give $5,000 to found the National Symphony Orchestra in 1931. As part of the event, The Ashton Trio — Laura Benning, flute, Marion Richter, violin, and Valerie Matthews, cello — will perform London Trio #1 by Joseph Haydn and Maombi Asante by Valerie Coleman.

She does occasional film and commercial work, and especially enjoys sharing programs of songs she loves in retirement homes and similar group settings.
