On Saturday, March 12, Kristy and Jim Clark with co-chairs, Emilia and Pepe Fanjul, hosted cocktails, dinner and a chamber music concert on Saturday, March 12th in honor of Toby and Itzhak Perlman at the Clarks’ Palm Beach home.
Founded by Toby Perlman 17 years ago, The Perlman Music Program offers unparalleled musical training to young string players of rare and special talent. With a world-class faculty led by Itzhak Perlman, the New York City and Shelter Island, NY based program seeks to develop the future leaders of classical music, all within a nurturing and supportive musical community. Current students and alumni presented chamber music masterworks by Haydn, Webern, Wolf, and Brahms.
After the Tristan Piano Quartet played Brahms’ Piano Quartet No 1 in G Minor, Jim Clark announced The Campaign for The Perlman Music Program’s $3 million Arts Center on Shelter Island. Building on the Board’s leadership pledge of $500,000, Jim and Kristy Clark pledged to match any future gift made to support the structure.
