Roddind@Nyphil.Org PETER W. MAY and OSCAR L. TANG EL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 3, 2019 Contact: Deirdre Roddin (212) 875-5700; [email protected] PETER W. MAY AND OSCAR L. TANG ELECTED CO-CHAIRS OF THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC BOARD OF DIRECTORS To Succeed OSCAR S. SCHAFER, Who Has Been Named CHAIRMAN EMERITUS Peter W. May and Oscar L. Tang were elected Co-Chairs of the Board of Directors of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, Inc., at the March 27, 2019, meeting of the organization’s Board of Directors. Each will hold the title of Co-Chair Designate until they become Co-Chairs in September, succeeding Oscar S. Schafer, who has held the post of Chairman since 2015. As Co-Chairs, Mr. May and Mr. Tang will serve as the Society’s chief volunteer officers. Mr. Schafer — who, with his wife, Didi, has presented the New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks since 2007 — will continue to serve as a member of the Philharmonic’s Board as Chairman Emeritus and the Orchestra will honor him and Mrs. Schafer at the Fall Gala, on October 7, 2019. Peter May has served on the Philharmonic Board since 2008, and Oscar Tang since 2013. Mr. May and his wife, Leni, have co-chaired multiple Spring Galas and an Opening Gala, and endowed the position of Program Annotator; he was named Vice Chairman in 2015. Mr. Tang and his wife, Agnes Hsu-Tang, have co-chaired the annual Lunar New Year Gala since its inception as well as two Opening Galas. “The New York Philharmonic is an American cultural treasure,” said Peter W. May. “The range of this Orchestra’s talent is inspiring, allowing it to serve as conservator of the symphonic tradition while engaging with new audiences through projects as diverse as Broadway musicals and innovative new-music series. It is an honor to be charged with helping chart out the organization’s future, and I look forward to working with Oscar Tang, Jaap van Zweden, Deborah Borda, and the entire Board, Orchestra, and Staff on creating a strong and vibrant future for the Philharmonic.” “This Orchestra does more than give wonderful performances for New Yorkers throughout the year,” said Oscar Tang. “The New York Philharmonic acts as an artistic ambassador, presenting America’s best to audiences around the world, and bringing culture from other countries through performances here in David Geffen Hall. I am grateful to Oscar Schafer for the work he has done (more) New York Philharmonic Board of Directors / 2 in creating a sound foundation for the future, and am eager to build on what has been accomplished so far to make possible a future of even greater achievement.” “The word ‘honor’ doesn’t adequately express my feelings about being part of the New York Philharmonic at this pivotal time,” said Oscar S. Schafer. “Having witnessed the vitality of the Orchestra’s performances and the creative planning since Deborah Borda and Jaap van Zweden arrived, I am confident in the Philharmonic’s next chapter. The musicians and their music- making will be in the best possible hands with Peter May and Oscar Tang as Co-Chairs, and I look forward to supporting them as Chairman Emeritus. Whether in New York City’s Parks, next season’s Fall Gala, or countless concerts in the hall, I look forward to many thrilling performances.” “The New York Philharmonic is at the threshold of a new era,” said Deborah Borda. “Thanks to Oscar Schafer’s enthusiasm and foresight, we now have the brilliant Jaap van Zweden as Music Director, and have set out on a path to security and greatness. But a truly great orchestra deserves a magnificent home, and much work lies ahead to achieve all we hope for in a renovated David Geffen Hall. The Philharmonic now needs the leadership team of two visionary and dedicated philanthropists, both committed to a sound grounding and imaginative problem solving. In Peter May and Oscar Tang we have such a team, whose love of New York is matched by their determination to help the Philharmonic to heighten our connection with our audiences, our community, and the world.” Peter W.

We marked this milestone by welcoming thousands of visitors with tours and special events, drawing visitors with a range of ages and interests — whether it be gardening, history, decorative arts, music, or walking. As always, we enjoy seeing our friends new and old. We continue to highlight the homes’ collections, with many objects original to the houses, as well as their gardens and scenic trails. And of course, having fun at these houses is always encouraged. In this 20th Anniversary year we were also excited to introduce new communication tools to help us spread the word about our mission. Launching a newly designed website with fresh photography, updated information and new scholarship helps to highlight each property and also to make it easier for individuals to learn more about CAHPT and visiting our homes. We also expanded our social media offerings — relying on tools such as Jack Smith, Operations Manager; Dick Jenrette, President and Founder; Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram to quickly inform Margize Howell, Executive Director, at The Metropolitan Museum, our followers of events or happenings at CAHPT. Whether it is The American Wing, October 6th, 2013. through our new website, social media or by phone, we want to hear from you — so please stay in touch! Classical American Homes was established 20 years ago with a focus on historic preservation, but it was also created so that you can enjoy these homes for generations to come.
