Remember this cartoon from last year’s Holiday Caption Contest – with the winning caption by Hsing-ay Hsu?

Well – it’s been colorized and is now available as a super-cute holiday card and delightful cocktail napkin!

The card makes for a unique and unusual greeting to send to your friends over the holiday season and those napkins will definitely be a conversation starter at your holiday parties. It’s also a fun way to support ACMP and its delightful mission of supporting chamber music for pleasure.

We hope you will order some from our new online store – which I believe is the first time in ACMP’s 75-year history that it has taken on this kind of endeavor.

VISIT THE ACMP STORE

If holiday swag is not your bag – we are also selling copies of the first edition of Lucy Miller Murray’s book “Adams to Zemlinsky: A Friendly Guide to Selected Chamber Music,” which was published by Concert Artists Guild in 2006. It’s a collection of essays and program notes about a wide range of chamber music pieces, by Lucy herself and by such esteemed contributors as renowned quartet violists James Dunham (who knew ACMP’s founder Helen Rice!) and Philip Ying, Guarneri Quartet violinist Arnold Steinhardt, and many more notable performers.

It’s hard to get a hold of copies of this book, and ACMP now has a supply of brand new copies of this paperback book that the author herself donated to ACMP last June. Thank you, Lucy Miller Murray! (Lucy is a pianist, and long-time member of ACMP.)

Lucy’s book would make a lovely holiday gift for one of your chamber music-loving friends (or maybe just for you…)

Please stop by ACMP’s new store soon, and happy shopping!
