On
February 13 at the Kravis Center in West
Palm Beach, FL, members of the renowned
Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performed
the music of its beloved Laureate Conductor Leonard
Bernstein in a special evening with
the composer's daughter and featured guests.
The performance featured works from Bernstein's most
memorable musicals including West Side Story,
Candide and On the Town. Jamie
Bernstein, the composer's daughter, hosted
the evening taking the audience on a colorful tour
of her father's music with background information,
personal anecdotes and brief synopses. The
evening also featured Bernstein's one-time protégé conductor Michael
Barrett. Also on the program were Michelle
Areyzaga, soprano; Elizabeth Shammash,
mezzo-soprano; Jeffrey Picón,
tenor; and Hugh Russell, baritone.
The gala began with a pre-concert dinner, was followed
by the concert and concluded with a dessert reception
with members of the Orchestra and the artists. Diane
Belfer was honorary chairman. Sara
Fabrikant and Sydell Miller served as Benefit
chairmen.
