Musicians Emergency Fund, Inc.
CONSISTENTLY SERVING MUSIC and MUSICIANS SINCE 1931
Marie Matranga Ashdown
March 12, 1927—March 13, 2023
Everyone who knew Marie will miss her warm friendship, generous spirit, gracious presence,
wise counsel and extraordinary sense of humor.
She faithfully served Musicians Emergency Fund, Inc., as Executive Director
from 1984 until her death, and she will be profoundly missed.
A concert in her memory is being planned and will be announced here in due course.
Meanwhile, let us individually celebrate her life and what she meant to us and to the broader world of fine music.
During this period of transition, we continue to support music and musicians.
MEF is pleased to sponsor a series of events by gifted young opera singers, presented by Classic Lyric Arts in small venues throughout New York City:
Oct. 6 at Merkin Hall, 129 West 67th St.
