Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall
In April of 2007, the Program held a Benefit Concert and Dinner at Carnegie Hall. The PMP String Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Perlman, never sounded better.
Helping make the evening more special was Master of Ceremonies, Alec Baldwin, Award Presenter, Adam D. Weinberg, and our Honoree, artist Chuck Close. By giving him the First Annual PMP Arts Make Music Award, PMP was able to honor Mr. Close for his continuing generosity of the Program.
“Tonight is about celebrating the talent of young people and celebrating this chain reaction the arts set in motion. Therefore it is exceptionally fitting that the Perlman Music Program is honoring Chuck Close, one of this generation’s great artists, an artist who understands and embodies the generative power of art-making in a world fraught with problems.”
