OCT 15: EVENT SUMMARY: Young Musicians Foundation Golden Anniversary Gala
by Don Rose
The YOUNG MUSICIANS FOUNDATION has, year after year, churned out the classical stars of tomorrow. Five decades after it all began, it was time to celebrate. Guests at the YMF gala enjoyed cocktails, a Silent Auction, dinner, Prize Drawing and Concert. Honorees included John Williams, Merv Griffin and Carl Reiner.
For nearly half a century, the proceeds from the YMF's annual gala have been used to fund the Foundation’s extensive programs for young artists. During its history, YMF has nurtured a number of international stars including Michael Tillson Thomas, Andre Previn and Mona Golabek. The music world looks to the YMF as a training ground for the next generation of composers, conductors, performers, and arts management.
