Celebrate Mr. Alfred Mouledous' Legacy

In celebration of Mr. Alfred Mouledous, legendary artist-pedagogue, mentor and friend to many, we're throwing him a retirement and legacy Gala Concert February 8th, 2025 at SMU in Caruth Auditorium. Concert time will be 7:00-8:30pm, followed by a birthday cake and champagne toast! (He turns 96 January 29th, 2025)

This Gala concert is FREE to the public and all who RSVP. We want to honor and celebrate Mr. Mouledous’ almost 70 years of generous investment in the lives of so many - from concert artists and piano educators to lifelong professional hobbyists. He has demonstrated through example the incredible power of a piano teacher in a student’s life.

Our lineup of all-stars is BIG. Concert pianists that will be performing are Liszt Competition Winner Dr. Eva Polgar and world-renowned pianist Andrey Ponachevny, along with professors Dr. Warren Chen, Dr. Julie Bees and Dr. Todd Van Kekerix, with a performance from Mr. Mouledous himself. Our guest speakers include Dr. Sam Holland, Dean of the SMU Meadows School of the Arts, and Dr. Peter Jutras, a former student and Dean of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.

Currently, all work is being self-funded by two former students who are also piano teachers. Support for this event will help preserve the teaching legacy of Mr. Mouledous. We greatly appreciate your help to ensure his teaching legacy lives on to future generations of pianists!

Bring your students, friends, family and admirers. We want to fill ALL Caruth Auditorium’s 490 seats!!

• Reception costs - SMU is the vendor so we have no control over this

• Flowers to elevate the event for the level that Mr. Mouledous deserves

• Video production/editing assistance in a tribute video documentary of his teaching principles, made free to everyone and premiered at this event.

Any funds not used specifically for these purposes will be donated to the scholarship in his name at Southern Methodist University. This is a not-for-profit fundraiser.
