WELCOME SEASON OF jefferyconcerts.com TO THE 31 ST The Jeffery Concerts EIGHT OUTSTANDING CONCERTS SHOWCASING NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTISTS Saturday SEPTEMBER 29 @ 8 A lawyer from the founding family of the London Life Insurance Company, Gordon Jeffery was an active organist, conductor, and a passionate collector of exceptional historic instruments and rare musical scores. An avid student of Baroque and Classical performance practice he enabled past and present Londoners to experience decades of live concerts given by world-renowned artists in his restored former London Town Hall of 1882. In 1987 posthumous provisions in his will continued Mr. Jeffery s mission to provide chamber music to our community s cultural life, by his naming a Trust to establish the Aeolian (later Jeffery ) Concerts. Substantial assistance was later provided for a new concert venue, the Wolf Performance Hall in London s Public Library. The Gordon Jeffery Music Foundation strives to continue supporting excellence in live performances and music education in our community.
