On May 10, 320 patrons attended the Young Concert Artists Gala Benefit Evening at Alice Tully Hall, which raised over $600,000 to support Young Concert Artists’ work to discover and launch the careers of extraordinary young classical musicians.
The evening included Cocktails followed by a concert presenting three YCA soloists with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s conducted by Michael Stern. Violinist Aleksey Semenenko performed the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5; soprano Julia Bullock performed Barber’s “Knoxville: Summer of 1915;” and Yun-Chin Zhou ended the concert with the Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3 and was given a rousing standing ovation by the sold-out house. The Gala Concert was followed by a festive dinner and live auction led by Katie Jacobs of Christie’s.
Among the Benefit guests were Carol Lindemann Abend and Sander Abend, Ariane Batterberry, Norman Benzaquen, Helen and Robert Bernstein, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Cohen, Anthony and Judy Evnin (Guests of Honor), Nicholas and Edmee Firth, Mary Ann Fribourg, Paul Huang (violinist), Vicki and Chris Kellogg, Andrew Kepler and Carlos Picon, Sahra Lese, Memrie Lewis, Helen Little, Ilann Maazel, Anne-Marie McDermott (pianist), Dinny and Lester S.
