Dear Mr. Blake,
I am writing to update you on Music for Food’s educational program. We continue to
advance our model of music as a tool for active civic engagement in the fight against local
hunger, and you make it possible for us to help even more people. Thank you for your belief
in us and commitment to our work as we show musicians how to address problems in their
community by using their artistry and provide food to those in need.
This year was a period of change for our organization. We bid a fond farewell to our
General Manager, Robert Cinnante, who took a job as Director of Education and Outreach
with Virginia Opera as of late July. Our newly hired General Manager, Cashman Kerr
Prince, began full-time employ on 31 August. We are doing our utmost to make this
transition as seamless as possible so we can focus our time and energy on the important
work of Music for Food.
It is impossible to measure in a concrete way the multiple benefits Music for Food provides.
The combined energy of artists, an audience aware of the silent hunger problem, and lines of
contact into a caring community create more positive benefits than can be expressed on
paper. The joy of the artists and of a giving audience resonates long after the final chords
have sounded.
You should always feel welcome to reach out to either one of us with any questions,
concerns, or ideas you may have. We hope one day you can join us for a concert to
experience Music for Food in its fullest form.
With gratitude,
Kim Kashkashian Cashman Kerr Prince

2014-15 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Overview
Music for Food presented 30 events in 11 cities nationwide, raising a total of $65,954.04 for
21 hunger relief organizations, in addition to in-kind goods collected and delivered directly
to various organizations.
Educational Outreach
Thanks to the $6,000 grant from the George Henschel Community Awards Committee
of the Harvard Musical Association we were able to expand our educational programs.
This past season we welcomed our inaugural cohort of MFF Fellows:
Emileigh Vandiver
Mason Yu
You can read about them in Attachment 1. The fellows were selected by a committee that
included Board Member Christopher Reuning, as well as Dr. Lisa Wong (Past President,
Longwood Symphony Orchestra), and Mark Churchill (Director, El Sistema USA). They
presented their first school assembly on 18 September 2014 at the St. Paul’s Choir School,
See Attachment 2 for full details.
MFF continued its educational outreach program at Atrium School (Watertown) and Rivers
School (Weston), and The Waring School (Beverly).
For the 2015 – 2016 season, our MFF Fellows are The Omer Quartet. You can read
about them in Attachment 2.
As part of this fellowship program, the fellows perform at area schools, discuss
Music for Food, and describe ways students can become citizen-artists themselves. We offer
leadership training to the MFF Fellows, including career development and non-profit
management skills (to help them better understand the workings of Music for Food and also
help them as their own musical careers advance) and conversations with noted citizen-artists
who use musical artistry as a means for civic engagement. The Fellowship Roadmap,
Attachment 3, shows more details about this aspect of our fellowship program.
Community Outreach
Continued partnership with the Women’s Lunch Place, a day shelter and pantry in
Boston’s Back Bay where MFF organizes chamber music outreach performances
with NEC student participants.
2015-16 SEASON
Music for Food kicks off its sixth season, “Fugue and Fantasy,” with a benefit concert on 21
September presented in a private home in Brookline and featuring Marc-André Hamelin,
Kim Kashkashian, Alexi Kenney, and Laurence Lesser. Local radio personality Cathy Fuller
will make introductions. The season continues with at least one concert a month in the
greater Boston area, as well as activities in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los
Angeles. To read more about the upcoming season, please see Attachment 4.
MUSIC FOR FOOD MISSION STATEMENT
We believe both music and food are essential to human life and growth. Music has the
power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences
work together to transform the ineffable into tangible and needed food resources.
Music for Food is a musician-led initiative for local hunger relief. Our concerts raise
resources and awareness in the fight against hunger, empowering all musicians who wish to
use their artistry to further social justice.

ATTACHMENT 1
Mason Yu has appeared as chamber musician, soloist, and concertmaster around the world and has won
awards for both violin and piano. As a founding member of the Omer Quartet, he received Grand Prize
and Gold Medal at the 40th Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.
Highlights of the past few years included solo appearances with the Lucerne Festival Academy orchestra
(L. Berio Chorale su Sequenza VIII) the Aspen Music Festival Philharmonic Orchestra (P. Hindemith
Violin Concerto), the Cleveland Institute of Music orchestra (B. Bartok Violin Concerto no. 2), under the
batons of Pablo Heras-Casado, Jane Glover and Joel Smirnoff, as well as with the conductor-less Cleveland
Philharmonia (L. v. Beethoven Violin Concerto and A. Piazzolla Four Seasons). As an accomplished
pianist, he won first prize in the Tuesday Musical Competition and also performed both violin and piano
solos consecutively at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. for its Conservatory Series.
With the Omer Quartet, Mason has performed with artists such as Cho-Liang Lin and the Assad Brothers.
They have performed concerts throughout the United States, Canada, and Italy, as well as conducted
masterclasses for local student ensembles. The quartet has been invited to the La Jolla SummerFest, the
Aspen Music Festival, the Perlman Music Program, and the Banff Centre.
Mason is currently pursuing his Masters degree at the New England Conservatory studying with Donald
Weilerstein. At NEC, he performed in a piano quartet which was offered an ensemble fellowship in the
Community Performances and Partnerships Program, a program dedicated to linking NEC with the
Boston community by providing musical engagement outside of the normal concert venue. In addition, he
served as concertmaster of the NEC orchestra, performed with the Bach Ensemble, collaborated with
[nec] shivaree—the avant-garde ensemble of NEC. Previously, Mason received his Bachelor of Music
degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music as a student of Paul Kantor, Joel Smirnoff and Ivan Zenaty, and
completed minors in economics and piano performance, studying with Gerardo Teissonniere. At the
Cleveland Institute, he led the orchestra at Severance Hall and the New Music ensemble as concertmaster
as well as won the concerto competition and received the Darius Milhaud Performance Prize. Mason is
extremely fortunate to perform on an A&H Amati generously loaned by the Colburn Collection, c. 1600.
Fascinated by unique cultures, Emileigh Brooke Vandiver has dedicated her life as a musician to
exploring the world, cello in tow. Described by the New York Times as “an excellent performer” and by
the Boston Musical Intelligencer as a musician bringing “a world of emotional meaning to the cello,” her
vast experiences have earned her recognition as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and teacher.
Ms. Vandiver earned the New England Conservatory’s (NEC) attention when she won the school- wide
John Hsu Cello Competition as a youthful sophomore. She has given solo recitals throughout the US,
Canada, Panamá, Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, while her performances have also been
broadcasted live via radio and television internationally.
As comfortable in front of an ensemble as within, Ms. Vandiver is a seasoned chamber and orchestral
musician. Her larger ensemble experience includes being principal cellist of the Encounter’s Ensemble, at
the Peabody Essex Museum. Additionally, she has toured with A Far Cry, and has performed with the
Boston Lyric Opera, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, the Boston Philharmonic and the Bermuda Festival
Orchestra.
A noted interpreter of contemporary music, Ms. Vandiver was recently in residence at Mass MoCA as a
Bang on a Can fellow. She worked closely with Steve Reich, David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia
Wolfe. In 2013, she was the principle cellist in the 21st Century Contemporary Ensemble, part of Carnegie
Hall’s professional training workshops directed by John Adams and David Robertson. While at NEC, Ms.
Vandiver was the principal cellist of the Contemporary Ensemble, directed by composer and flutist, John
Heiss. She was featured in Jordan Hall performing the Carter Cello Sonata, George Crumb’s Black Angels,
Pierre Boulez’s Messagesquisse, Gunther Schuller’s Aphorisms and Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire.
Ms. Vandiver is an active and in demand teacher. She is currently on the cello faculty at the New England
Conservatory’s Preparatory School. Additionally, she is on cello, solfege, and chamber music faculty for
Project STEP at Boston’s Symphony Hall. Ms. Vandiver has traveled to Panamá multiple times in the past
two years to perform, give masterclasses, repair instruments, and coach chamber music at The Panamá Jazz
Festival. In the summer she teaches at the Four Strings Academy and Project STEP’s FOCUS II cello
festival.
Ms. Vandiver has a particular interest in bridging her classical training with other members of the artistic
community. She has collaborated with artists ranging from Savion Glover and Gloria Estefan to bands
Pink Martini and The Fray. Her curiosity has sparked projects that include collaborating with architects at
the Boston Architectural College and playing in a Weimar band for The Blue Flower at the American
Repertoire Theatre.
Her festival performances include the Holland International Music Sessions, Ensemble Modern’s
Klangspuren Festival in Austria, Orford Centre d’Arts, Aria International Summer Music Academy, and
the Banff International Centre.
Ms. Vandiver was awarded the New England Conservatory’s coveted Gunther Schuller President’s Medal
at graduation and was the recipient of the Lotta Crabtree Scholarship. She has completed a Graduate
Diploma, Master’s Degree and Bachelor’s Degree at the New England Conservatory of Music where she
graduated with honors and studied with Paul Katz, Natasha Brofsky and John Heiss. Her former teachers
include Christopher French and Ann Victor.
