Young Artists Philharmonic Honors Greenwich Symphony President

GREENWICH, CT - From The Young Artists Philharmonic: The Young Artists Philharmonic (YAP) will be honoring Mary Radcliffe, the President of Greenwich Symphony at its annual gala on May 8. Every year, the Young Artists Philharmonic honors notable figures in the community who are major contributors to music education.

“Mary has done a tremendous amount of work in advocacy in music education. She has provided so much for children through the Young People's Concerts and we wanted to recognize her for all that she does. It's also great to be able to honor her on National Music Teacher Appreciation Day” says YAP Executive Director, Greg Robbins.

Young Artists Philharmonic has had a very successful year with a performance at the Yale School of Music and an open house event on April 30 for new students. YAP has also had very successful collaborations with Christ Church Greenwich Choir and Greenwich Symphony.

Later this month, YAP will hold a concert at the Italian Center of Stamford, followed by a trip to Italy in July.

"The gala will be a great way to celebrate the milestones achieved this year and an opportunity to unveil some of the programming lined up for the 2018-2019 season" says Claudia Silver, President of the Board.

The Young Artists Philharmonic will be showcasing its talented musicians during the evening. In addition, Remy LeBoeuf, Grammy-nominated musician will be performing for guests.
