The music was magnificent, the food was fabulous and the socializing was spectacular. In all, the April 13th inaugural event for the founding members of the newly formed Israel Philharmonic Orchestra Ambassador Society was a sold-out success. The very special evening hosted by Lenore Ruben featured a private recital with Yossi Arnheim, IPO Principal Flute and Irit Rub, Piano and Director of the IPO KeyNote Education Program. Members were treated to a specially selected musical program and dinner with the artists in Lenore’s beautiful Riverside Drive home.

Planning is underway for the Ambassador Society’s next event.

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra Ambassador Society is a community of donors, between the ages of 35 and 55, who share an appreciation of classical music and an interest in philanthropic support of Israel.

The focus of the group is to raise money for the IPO’s KeyNote Education and Outreach Program now in its tenth year. KeyNote reaches over 28,000 Israeli children annually through programs in Israeli schools and at the Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv.
