On
Thursday, June 4, 2009 in Zankel Hall in New York City, the Carnegie
Hall Notables presented the Fifth Annual Notable Occasion, a musical
evening hosted and exclusively underwritten by Nicola Bulgari. Over
500 guests enjoyed a concert in Zankel Hall featuring works by Haydn
and Shostakovich performed by members of Ensemble ACJW. Immediately
following the concert was an exclusive cocktail reception at Remi Restaurant
where guests had the opportunity to meet the musicians.
Steered by a diverse group of New York socialites and musical artists,
the Notables Committee includes Carnegie Hall Notable co-chairs Cody
Franchetti and Jimmy Zankel as well as Executive Committee members
Carrie Cloud, Lara Meiland-Shaw, and Mary Wible Vertin.
The Carnegie Hall Notables is a membership group specifically created
for music enthusiasts in their 20s and 30s. The Notables program celebrates
music through intimate discussions with world-famous composers and
musicians, concerts, private performances, and exclusive Notables-only
social gatherings throughout New York City. Members are given access
to experience all types of music—both traditional and contemporary.
Contributions to the Notables support the vital music education programs
of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall, which annually serves
over 115,000 children, students, teachers, parents, young music professionals,
and adults in the New York City metropolitan area, across the United
States, and around the world.
