Earlier this month, The Caramoor International Music Festival opened its first ever Fall Festival with a gala evening in a “garden of great music” 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 Orthopaedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles (OFAL) hosted its 5th anniversary gala fundraiser a week ago Thursday at The Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase. Enjoying the reception and dinner presentation from the finest chefs of Greenwich, they honored orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine expert Dr. Kevin Plancher, and raised over $425,000 for the foundation’s medical research and educational programs.
Committee board members Richard Berman, Donna deVarona, Duane Hill, George and Karen Kollitides, Albert and Dana Nickel, Morton and Lois Seaman, FOX News anchor Jon Scott and Suzanne Smith were joined by many to honor Kevin D. Plancher, MD for his outstanding work on behalf of the foundation.
