Lincoln Center Fall Gala


Bernard Haitink conducts the London Symphony Orchestra at the Lincoln Center Fall Gala concert.

The world's largest performing arts center, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, recognized and celebrated the longstanding support it has received from one of the world's major entertainment and technology companies when Sir Howard Stringer and Sony Corporation were honored at the Lincoln Center Fall Gala on October 11 at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City.  That evening, at a dinner preceding a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony performed by the London Symphony Orchestra led by Bernard Haitink, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne presented Mr. Stringer and Sony Corporation with the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts Distinguished Service Award in recognition of their many years of support for Lincoln Center's Corporate Fund.  The evening raised $1.8 million and was chaired by Mrs. Martin D. Gruss.
