Warren musician Frances Evans’ passion for bringing world class music to her corner of NSW has been recognised, having been named a finalist in the national APRA AMCOS Art Music Awards for excellence in a regional area.
The Art Music Awards acknowledge the achievements of composers, performers and educators, and are a coup for Mrs Evans’ work with the Warren Chamber Music Festival (WCMF) where she is both artistic director and violinist.
“My name is listed on the award but I’m counting it as an award in general for our festival’s incredible efforts to bring inspiring, empowering and educational concerts to rural NSW,” Mrs Evans said.
“Our committee including John Burke, Marieanne Noonan, Phil Leman, Rod Sandell and myself have put together great ideas that have worked for our audiences and for the musicians,” she said.
