OUR BULK EMAIL TO PROMOTE ANTHONY.


Hi!…… I just wanted to let you know about a very exciting event coming up regarding a very gifted 16 year old local violinist by the name of Anthony Bracewell.

Anthony has been playing the violin since he was five years old and his talent is truly astounding. Against great odds he has accomplished a great deal in his young life and his musical career continues to expand in many different directions. Anthony’s father passed away when he was 10 years old and his mother has worked tirelessly to help him reach the success that he has aspired to. Besides being the Concert Master of the Detroit Symphony Civic Orchestra, Anthony plays with a quartet, Viaggio from Cleveland, has attended music summer camps in NY, attends Walkerville C.I. in Windsor and recently won a $10,000 scholarship. He also was recently aired on NPR’s show “From the Top” where the performance was recorded in California. (You can log onto

to hear his performance and meet this very engaging, delightful young man.) Anthony’s resume of his Education, Orchestral Experience, Chamber Music Experience, Performance Experience, Competitions and Summer Camps and Schools is 22 pages long!

The May Court Club of Windsor asked our store, Rosser Reeves Jewellers to sponsor Anthony and we were delighted to accept. Anthony will be giving a Recital on Sunday, October 19th, at St Andrews Presbyterian Church, Park and Victoria, in downtown Windsor. He will be accompanied by a very distinguished pianist, Mary Siciliano from Livonia, Michigan. Anthony has been working very hard with Mary to give us the best performance possible. It will be a couple of very exciting hours with a small break to get our breath back! The tickets are very inexpensive, $15 for adults, $10 for children, and we are hoping to fill the church.

I am asking everyone to forward this e-mail to everyone they know and if you are receiving this as a forward to please forward this to everyone you know - even if you are unable to attend. Please even forward to your out-of-town friends; they may have friends in Windsor they will forward it to!

Anthony has great plans for his musical career and we are looking for sponsorship from anyone that would like to help. No amount of money is too small or too large!! At the present time the violin Anthony is playing is on loan from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and we are trying to raise money to help him purchase a new violin as well as assisting him with the costs to audition at several colleges in the U.S. He hopes to audition at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Juilliard in New York City, Curtis in Philadelphia and Colburn in Los Angeles, California. In order to qualify for admission and scholarships it is required that he auditions live at each of these schools, and this is quite costly.

Anthony is being guided by many professionals already in the U.S.A. and we are eager to make a Home Town contribution to his career, with your help! Please come, and/or purchase tickets for a friend.

Such talent and dedication to his art is quite rare and it may well be wonderful to be able to say in a few years from now “I heard him play when he was at the beginning of his career”. Looking forward to seeing you!
