The
Caramoor International Music Festival opened its first ever Fall Festival
with a gala evening in a “garden of great music.” The 1st
fall festival opened on Friday, October 2, 2009 in the Venetian Theater
with Alan Gilbert, who is in his inaugural season as the New York Philharmonic’s
Music Director, leading the Orchestra and legendary pianist Emanuel
Ax in an all-Beethoven program: Piano Concerto No. 4 and Symphony No. 7.
The concert at Caramoor is a highlight of the first weeks of Alan Gilbert’s
inaugural season as the 25th Music Director of the New York Philharmonic.
The Gala began at 6:45pm with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the
Italian Pavilion and continues with a concert at 8:00pm. After the concert,
guests were served a post-concert dinner.
The Opening Night Gala honorees
were the William Petschek Family. Gala Co-chairs were Patricia and Edward
Falkenberg.
