Ewers Madeline Apollo Bart Blatstein Richard D. Carpenter Reverend Luis A. Cortés, Jr. Katherine D. Crothall Robert J. Delany Dear friends, James F. Dever, Jr. Frances R. Graham Michael B. Hill Welcome to our storied Academy of Music – the perfect setting Philip P. Jaurigue for a musical set more than 100 years ago. Whether you are Obra Kernodle returning to the immersive tale of Fiddler on the Roof and Brook J. Lenfest Jeffrey A. Leonard their fictional town of Anatevka after many years or watching Sara Lomax-Reese the world of old Russia come to life on stage for the very first P. Edward Lovelidge time, you will be absorbed into a story rich in the importance of Jeffrey P. McFadden family and tradition. Stanley Middleman Elizabeth Murphy Ronald Rubin Tradition, tradition! Speaking of… on the Kimmel Center Mark H. Samuels Cultural Campus, we have plenty of ongoing traditions that, Anne Faulkner Schoemaker Matthew A. Taylor together, weave a brilliant tapestry of diverse community- Sherry Varrelman minded programming all year long. My personal favorite, Laurie Wagman A Soulful Christmas, enlists local African American churches Tony G. Werner and choirs in an annual concert that uplifts, inspires, and Mario Zacharjasz builds community. One burgeoning tradition for us is Sing TRUSTEE EMERITI Hallelujah, with Jewish choral music presented by singers from Sidney Kimmel local synagogues and community-based Jewish choirs. Tuba The Hon. Bob P. Casey* The Hon. Edward G. Rendell Christmas yearly unites over 100 Philadelphia sousaphone, The Hon. Tom Ridge tuba, and euphonium musicians in playing holiday tunes to George M. Ross* crowds in Commonwealth Plaza. And, of course, we plan all- Willard G. Rouse III* day, FREE celebrations for arts-lovers of all ages, from our *awarded posthumously New Year’s Day party to Organ Day. EXECUTIVE STAFF Anne C.
