 Orchestra of St. Luke (OSL) held its annual Gift of Music gala at The Plaza Hotel on Monday, March 24, 2014, hosted by actor and director David Hyde Pierce. The evening benefitted OSL's artistic and Community & Education programs, as well as The DiMenna Center for Classical Music. Orchestra of St. Luke was proud to honor dancer, choreographer, and director Mark Morris, and extraordinary OSL patrons Emme and Jonathan Deland.

 

"This year's Gift of Music gala celebrated individuals who have made significant contributions to the artistic community," said  OSL President and Executive Director Katy Clark. "Mark has staged some of the most remarkable dance productions of our generation, and OSL deeply appreciates his unwavering commitment to live music. Emme and Jonathan are beloved friends of our orchestra, dedicating their time, expertise, and resources to many areas of the organization, from development to education. We all look forward to honoring these achievements with an evening of dinner, music, and dancing."

 

Mark Morris formed the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) in 1980, and has since created close to 150 works for the company. He has directed and choreographed 18 ballets since 1986 and his work has been performed by companies worldwide. His collaborations with OSL span more than two decades and include Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet at Lincoln Center and performances at the Mostly Mozart Festival, among others. Morris also works extensively in opera, directing and choreographing productions for the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, English National Opera, and The Royal Opera.

 

Noted for his musicality, Morris has been described as 'undeviating in his devotion to music' (The New Yorker). He began conducting performances for MMDG in 2006 and has since conducted at The International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Lincoln Center, and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Morris was named a Fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991, and has received the Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement (2007) and the Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society (2010). He opened the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn in 2001 to provide a home for his company, rehearsal space for the dance community, outreach programs for children and seniors, and dance classes for students of all ages and abilities.

 
Gala honorees Emme and Jonathan Deland are devoted to OSL and other institutions that contribute to New York City's health, welfare, and culture. Emme works at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital as senior vice president and chief strategy officer, responsible for developing clinical and corporate strategic plans. Emme is on the board of the Emily Davie and Joseph S. Kornfeld Foundation, through which she was introduced to Orchestra of St. Luke's. Jonathan is co-chief of the Foot and Ankle Service at Hospital for Special Surgery, and is professor of clinical orthopedic surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College. He has been named to the Best Doctors in America and Best Doctors in New York lists by New York Magazine for the past three years.

 

Emme and Jonathan collectively serve on the boards of the Zeitz and Kornfeld Foundations, Planned Parenthood of New York City, Public Health Solutions, the American Memorial Hospital in Reims, France, and the Library of America, as well as on the advisory board of MMGD's Dance for PD® program. The Delands award will be presented by their friend and gala chairman Frances Resheske, who is senior vice president of public affairs at Con Edison.

 

Bringing his characteristic wit and charm, Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor David Hyde Pierce hosted the Gift of Music gala. Pierce is perhaps best known for playing Niles on the sitcom Frasier. Since 2004, he has focused on Broadway and theatre, earning a Tony Award for 2007's Curtains,and a Tony nomination for his starring role in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which he recently returned to direct at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.

 

The musical portion of the evening was led by OSL Principal Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado in his third Gift of Music performance. He will conduct OSL in a program of Mozart and Catalani arias with star soprano Angela Meade, as well as selections from the ballet music from Mozart's Idomeneo. Meade is the recipient of the 2012 Beverly Sills Artist Award from the Metropolitan Opera and the 2011 Richard Tucker Award, and was named 2013 Artist of the Year by Washington National Opera. She is a regular performer with OSL at Caramoor Music Festival, returning this summer for the title role in Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia.The evening will conclude with OSL performing Strauss waltzes to accompany dancing in the Grand Ballroom a longtime tradition at Gift of Music galas.

 

The gala was designed by distinguished event planner and OSL board member David Monn, known for his artistry in orchestrating both intimate parties and major events such as the White House State Dinner, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, and The Plaza's Centennial Celebration.
