2019 ANNUAL GALA
Please join us on June 3 at Guastavino’s for Kaufman Music Center’s annual Gala! This year’s Gala will celebrate Cathy White O’Rourke, President of our Board of Trustees. Cathy is a distinguished business leader, classically trained pianist, and devoted advocate for music education. We are also proud to honor The Morris and Alma Schapiro Fund, a generous champion of education and the performing arts.
Star-Studded Performances
The Gala will feature an appearance by Caroline Shaw. In 2013, this pioneering composer, vocalist, violinist, and producer became the youngest person ever to win a Pulitzer Prize for Music, also receiving a Grammy award that same year. Caroline will perform with some of our talented students. Dynamic radio personality Terrance McKnight will host the evening.
Education. Inspiration. Transformation.
The Gala supports the Center’s music education programs, which serve more than 4,000 kids and teens annually. Thanks to funds raised, the Center is setting talented, motivated students on a lifelong musical path. To learn more about how your gift could transform lives, click here.
