American richest donors gather for Carnegie gala
OrchestrasCarnegie Hall’s Opening Night Gala concert on Tuesday, October 8 features the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel (wo will soon be raising money to pay for the NY Philharmonic pay hike).
Carnegie Hall today helpfully listed, for his benefit and ours, the individuals he’ll need to start tapping:
Mercedes T. Bass and Hope and Robert F. Smith are the Gala Lead Chairmen for Carnegie Hall’s black-tie Opening Night Gala event. Gala Chairmen Committee members include Len and Emily Blavatnik; Maral and Sarkis Jebejian; Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis; Karen and Dennis M. Nally; Allison Rosier; Beatrice Santo Domingo; Elizabeth Segerstrom; David M. Siegel and Dana Matsushita; Vista Friends of Hope and Robert F. Smith; and Joan and Sanford I. Weill. Gala Co-Chairmen include Evercore; Suzie and Bruce Kovner; Los Angeles Philharmonic; Anne Akiko Meyers and Jason Subotky; Xiaoshan Ren; Marvin S. Rosen, Shareholder of Greenberg Traurig; Richard A. Rosenbaum, Executive Chairman of Greenberg Traurig; Tracy Chutorian Semler and Eric Semler; and Rebecca and Roy Weathers. Kirkland & Ellis LLP is the Lead Sponsor and PwC a Major Sponsor. The gala concert benefits Carnegie Hall’s artistic, education and social impact programs and includes a dinner at Cipriani 42nd Street following the concert.
The ones worth tapping from Carnegie (more prestigious in NYC btw) have already been tapped by Deborah. If you think a conductor raises money, guess again. They may show for a gala, nada mas.
