Siena, Wagner & Parsifal
at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Join us for a celebratory reception at The Frederick R. Koch Foundation’s Upper East Side townhouse, a historic property built by F.W. Woolworth. This stunning museum-in-a-mansion holds much of the late Mr. Koch’s personal collection of paintings and objets d’art from around the world. The townhouse is the perfect setting for our anniversary celebration of TŌN’s pioneering concert series, echoing Sight & Sound’s exploration of the parallels between orchestral music and the visual arts.

Benefit tickets include:

 
This reception is generously sponsored by Randy Faerber ’73 in memory of Harvey Walden; Janice Haggerty, The Merrill G. and Emita E. Hastings Foundation; Helen V. Atlas; and Anne-Katrin Spiess.

All proceeds from this event will support TŌN’s innovative graduate program for classical musicians, offering accepted students a full-tuition fellowship and stipend.

Please reply by Friday, November 15 to secure your Sight & Sound subscription and be listed on the event program.
