Music for All Seasons gets arts grant

Music for All Seasons, a Scotch Plains-based nonprofit whose mission is to bring world-class musical performances to nontraditional audiences, was awarded a $42,190 grant by the NJ State Council on the Arts in its most recent round announced on Tuesday.

Founded by Plainfielder Brian Dallow and his wife, the author and pianist Rena Fruchter, MFAS has for years brought musical performances to audiences ranging from children in hospitals to nursing home and prison audiences. Their longtime friend Dudley Moore was an avid supporter and proselytizer for the organization and its mission.

Kudos to Brian and Rena!
