ANNUAL BENEFIT CONCERT: - for more information on the Annual Benefit Concert - click here!
As a philanthropic entity, the NYAC’s largest fundraiser and musical event is their Annual Benefit Concert. According to the chapter’s archives, the earliest Benefit concert dates back to 1934! Distant past Benefit Concert venues have included The NYC Town Hall, Carl Fischer or CAMI Hall, and Carnegie Hall whose stages were graced by Distinguished Members such as Regina Resnik, Caroll Glen, and Mary Louise Boehm Kooper. In 2001, the Benefit Concert tradition was reinstated after a hiatus of several years with the goal of raising money for local, national and international charities while strengthening NYAC’s commitment to supporting outstanding music and exceptional performers. The 2001 concert featured SAI members performing American music by such famous composers as Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Recent artists and composers include pianist and Member Laureate Mary Louise Boehm with National Arts Associate Kees Kooper, Argentinean pianist Mirian Conti, jazz vocalist Lenora Zenzalai Helms, internationally acclaimed soprano and Member Lareate, Claudia Waite, and the works of National Arts Associate James Cohn.
NYAC would like to announce that this year, 2010, our featured performer will be our very own Dr. Emily White. This is a great opportunity to perform and to help raise money for NYAC's philanthropic projects.
The concert is scheduled for Sunday, October 9th --7:30PM @ The Church of St. Luke in the Fields. To purchase tickets please click here! Let's all make this our best musicale ever! - For more information, check out the benefit page here!
