The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society’s 25th Anniversary Celebration

7 Mar

Philadelphia, March 7, 2011: On Wednesday, March 9th at 7:30 pm at the Perelman Theater, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS) will celebrate its 25th Anniversary with a special concert and reception. The concert will feature works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Schumann performed by some of our most celebrated artists – including pianist Emanuel Ax, violist Robert Díaz, violist Michael Tree, cellist Peter Wiley, clarinetist Anthony McGill, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, and the Tokyo String Quartet.

The concert celebrates the past 25 years of concerts in Philadelphia, having just witnessed its 1,000 concert (in January), commissioned its 45th new composition, and set new records for annual attendance – all while maintaining its policy of affordable ticket pricing ($23 dollars for every seat in the house) and balancing its budget for the 25th consecutive season.

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary, The Philadelphia Inquirer ran an editorial on Saturday, February 26th to honor PCMS.  Titled, “Hitting All the Notes,” the column applauded the Society for having the “right formula for success” to “have polished the society into a gem that would be prized in any city, large or small.”  They ended by remarking that “there’s no better time to elevate the chamber society’s profile than during this notable anniversary season.”

About PCMS

The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS) aims to serve and enrich audiences with a compelling variety of chamber music and recital programs performed by exceptional international and Philadelphia-based artists.

Lemon Law On-Line Widget Assists Distressed Drivers

2 Mar

(Philadelphia, PA) March 2, 2011: Kimmel & Silverman, the oldest and largest lemon law and automotive consumer advocacy firm in the Northeast, has created a new resource and widget to assist consumers who have unwittingly bought a defective car. This interactive tool at www.lemonlaw.com/lemon-laws can quickly indicate to consumers if they are entitled to potential remedy under State or Federal Laws.

Each state has laws to protect owners of cars that fail to comply with warranty guarantees but many consumers are unaware of their scope and operation. Federal laws also offer protection to consumers. Potential remedies could include a new vehicle, a complete repurchase or monetary compensation and continued ownership of the vehicle. In addition, most State Lemon Laws contain a fee-shifting provision which provide completely free legal representation to consumers, thus putting them on equal footing with billion-dollar automobile manufacturers. If the consumer prevails in their Lemon Law claim, the manufacturer must pay all attorney fees and legal costs on top of what the consumer wins. If the consumer does not prevail, there should be no cost.

Through answering the questions asked at www.lemonlaw.com/lemon-laws, consumers will be able to determine if they have a case and under which Law. Straightforward and easy to use, the website is an important consumer resource tool. Bloggers can also add the widget to their site and assist readers who may be facing difficulties with their car.

“Over the past ten years, I have spoken to tens of thousands of consumers who had no idea they were entitled to remedy under consumer statutes,” comments Michael Sacks, Automotive Consumer Advocate & Director of Communications for Kimmel & Silverman. “Not only is the claim easy to implement, but the result could be quite significant. Without knowledge of the law, consumers often find themselves stranded or going down an incorrect avenue where they essentially void their rights.”

“We hope car bloggers, consumer bloggers, message board moderators, and social media users will all take advantage of this widget and add it to their sites to further educate owners of lemon cars about the Laws,” adds Sacks. “Defective cars need to be off our roads and consumers need to know they have the right to fight.”

The lemon law coverage goes beyond engine and transmission problems to include other issues with cars, including water leaks, electrical problems, alignment issues, sunroof troubles, power lock failure among others. Simply put, if a consumer is under manufacturers warranty and finds themselves at the repair shop with repeated issues, there is a strong chance for significant remedy.

About Lemon Law.Com

Lemon Law (www.lemonlaw.com) is the online portal for automotive consumer advocacy firm Kimmel & Silverman offering 100% cost-free lemon law help and information to distressed drivers throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wyoming and Tennessee. In addition, the firm can provide lemon law and consumer resources in any State in the country. Over two decades, Kimmel & Silverman, has successfully resolved more than 65,000 lemon law and breach of warranty claims, recovering more than $180 million for consumers. Their efforts have been honored by the American Bar Association. Consumers with lemon law questions can reach out on a toll-free hotline, 1-800 LEMON LAW (1-800-536-6652).
