On Tuesday, February 2, 2016, the Young New Yorkers for the Philharmonic gathered for their annual Winter Benefit at The Racquet and Tennis Club. The evening began with a chamber music recital at 8:30 p.m. followed by cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dancing.
Chairman of the Young New Yorkers for the Philharmonic Sarah Jane Gibbons welcomed guests and introduced Philharmonic musicians violinists Quan Ge, Shanshan Yao, and Elizabeth Zeltser; violist Rémi Pelletier; cellist Nathan Vickery, and Acting Associate Principal Bass Max Zeugner who gave a delightful chamber performance featuring works by Rossini, Berio, and Vivaldi. The musicians of the Philharmonic introduced and shared insight about each piece performed that evening.
