Friends of the Phil Celebrate Music and Honor Treasured Board Member

On Thursday, May 28 the Westchester Philharmonic honored its donors with the 3rd annual Friends of the Phil Dinner at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club.

The dinner is a tribute to the passion, vision, and dedication of like-minded individuals, in whom the power and beauty of music stir a personal desire to help sustain it.

In only its third year, 100 supporters of the Phil heard a keynote by Jamie Bernstein, daughter of the famed Leonard Bernstein, and a delightful performance by rising pianist Joseph Mohan. The 2015 Golden Baton Award was given to long-time orchestra board member Hannah Shmerler.

Wine for the event was provided by Aries Wines and Spirits of White Plains and flowers were provided by Joseph Richard Florals. Piano courtesy of Faust Harrison Pianos.
