A Little Lunch Music was a weekly free-concert series hosted every Thursday at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art in Auburn, Alabama that presented primarily classical music.[1][2][3] The series was founded and organized by musician Charles Wright up until 2009, when high school friend and fellow musician Patrick McCurry took over as series coordinator.[4] It was originally hosted near the Museum Café.[3]
History
Founded in 2007, the program began as a music show held every Thursday. Wright began the series by playing his own music as a cellist, pianist, and electric keyboardist. In 2008, Wright invited Patrick McCurry, who played the saxophone, flute, and cello alongside Wright. In early 2009, a Steinway Grand Piano was donated to the museum, and pianist Barbara Acker-Mills joined the duo, now known as the "Woodfield Trio."[4]
In 2009, Acker-Mills moved to North Carolina, while Wright moved to Florida. This left Patrick McCurry, who took over as series coordinator. The program began attracting an average of 40 attendees, and McCurry began looking for sponsors in order to pay musicians who played at the event.[4]
During 2010, the program was held in the same space as an exhibit, "On the Silk Road and the High Seas." exhibit, from 12pm to 1pm.[5]
Musicians from diverse backgrounds performed at the shows, including composer and percussionist Nathan Davis, violinist Lorna WoodCite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[6][7] McCurry occasionally performed alongside other musicians.[8]
On 12 March 2020, the last concert was performed by pianist Beibei Lin.[9]
