Our most recent trip to New York, making UD proud!!
UD TRIP TO CARNEGIE HALL 2023!
My mission as a mentor is to offer my students options and limitless possibilities. So… I decided to sponsor a trip to Carnegie Hall for them to experience a unique opportunity to see the world’s greatest musicians on the best stage in the world. Maxim Vengerov, Lera Auerbach, Yevgheny Kissin, Gidon Kremer, Steven Isserlis and the Emerson quartet were featured in a chamber music concert honoring the great activist and Nobel Peace prize-winner, Andrei Sakharov. Check out a few more shots from this wonderful experience !
