On Thursday, April 22, 2010, The Manhattan School of Music (MSM) honored the legendary mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne at its 2010 Concert Gala held at Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan.
The event began with a reception followed by a dinner and concert. The Gala was chaired by Manhattan School of Music’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees Peter Robbins and Jody Robbins and President Robert Sirota and Victoria Sirota. The Gala featured performances by world-renowned baritone Thomas Hampson and Manhattan School of Music Young Artists.
Other attendees included: Joan and Alan Ades, Ilene and Edward Lowenthal, Maurice and Andrea DuBois, Thomas Hampson and Andrea Herberstein.
The 2010 Concert Gala celebrated Manhattan School of Music’s longstanding tradition of excellence in music education. Established in 1918 by pianist and philanthropist Janet Daniels Schenck, it is one of the leading conservatories in the United States as well as the country’s largest private conservatory offering both classical and jazz training. Students come from all over the world, drawn by the rigorous program in performance and composition which reflect the highest standards of musical heritage, and by the faculty, which includes some of the world’s best-known artists.
