American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra held its annual Family Music Day on Sunday, December 11, 2011, featuring a talented group of performers, led by the amazing pianist Orli Shaham. 

Over 200 children and adults enjoyed this sold-out event, held at Asia Society, which included interactive and educational music stations, an entertaining concert, followed by brunch and amusing activities.  Celebrating the joy of classical music, multiple generations gathered for a most delightful and fun-filled morning!  Funds raised from this event will benefit the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s KeyNote Education and Outreach Programwhich brings classical music to over 29,000 school children in Israel each year.

Among those in attendance were Lauren and John Veronis, Alexandra and Clifford Gelb, Rochelle Hirsch, Pamela Sandler, Jordana and David Manzano, Suki Sandler, Marcie and Jordan Pantzer, Pamela and Edward Pantzer, Debra Perelman, Natalie Katz, Amanda Gimble and Myron Glucksman, Aleida and Mark Hornfeld, Pamela Henes, Deena and Adam Shiff, Rochelle Hirsch, Danielle and Drew Anderman, Cynthia and Matthew Mark, Gervaise Gerstner, Danielle and Hayim Grant, Robyn Stonehill, Amy and James Haber, Tali and Adam Tantleff, and Tracy and Sander Gerber.
