Westchester Philharmonic Honors Somers resident Stephen Ucko and Friends
Orchestra honors Somers resident Stephen Ucko and "friends of the Phil" with dinner, music by orchestra members and panel discussion.
On Wednesday, May 10 the Westchester Philharmonic honored its donors with the annual Friends of the Phil Dinner at The Mansion on Broadway in White Plains. 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 fifth year, supporters of the Phil enjoyed a discussion on the arts and print media with writers Phillip Lutz, Susan Hodara, Andrea Kurtz and broadcaster and singer Pamela Kuhn. The discussion was preceded by a delightful performance by Phil violinist Deborah Wong and husband and cellist Chris Finckel. The 2017 Golden Baton Award was given to long-time orchestra supporter Stephen Ucko. Wine was selected by Aries Wines and Spirits of White Plains and flowers Joseph Richard Florals in Armonk.
