Chestnut Hill, MA – October 3, 2013 – Saul B. Cohen, President of
Hammond Residential Real Estate, is pleased to announce the Hammond Performing
Arts Series 2013-2014 Concert Schedule.

According
to Saul Cohen, “The Performing Arts Series is now entering its twentieth year and
was originally established out of Hammond’s Chestnut Hill headquarters as a
means to provide performers, who have launched their professional careers in the past
fifteen years, with
performance opportunities, and to enrich the cultural life of the community.” The
series proved so successful in Chestnut Hill, that it was expanded to additional
Hammond-serviced communities, including Boston, Concord, Hingham, Lexington,
and Weston.

Numerous musicians such as cellist Alexandre Lecarme and
pianist Constantine Finehouse have enjoyed the unique performance and recording
opportunities that the Performing Arts Series has afforded them. Many of the
series’ participants have performed at some of most highly-regarded venues in
the classical world, including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.

Internationally-recognized violinist Sarita Kwok said of her
experience, “One of the
things I enjoy most about the Hammond Performing Arts Series is the audiences!
They are enthusiastic, receptive, attentive, appreciative and most importantly,
loyal. What an honor and pleasure it is as a performer to be able to cultivate
a devoted following of listeners.

Saul
Cohen and Hammond Residential are providing such a wonderful service to Boston
communities with these free chamber music concerts. I feel privileged and
grateful that we can partner with them to make great music accessible to the
public.” 

Mark
H. Lippolt, Senior Vice President of Operations at Hammond said: “The
Performing Arts Series is the cornerstone of Hammond’s corporate
philanthropy program.  In addition to
compensating the musicians, the firm also funds the cost of the concert venue,
rental instruments as required, and the extensive marketing for the concerts.”
