Miss Dorothy DeLay was a legendary teacher and lifelong mentor to Catherine Cho and Toby and Itzhak Perlman. Guiding them through positive reinforcement, she became a foundational force behind The Perlman Music Program. In 2008, PMP established the Dorothy DeLay Society in her honor to recognize individuals and families who ensure the program’s mission through planned gifts.
