The First Annual ABC Gala
The First Annual ABC Gala was held April 14, 2008 in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. The evening was a fundraiser for the Barry Alexander International Vocal Competition, and the Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, which have been put under one 501(c)(3) known as The Alexander & Buono Competitions, or ABC. Proceeds from the Gala will provide study grants, and scholarships for selected artists to attend the Musica e Arte Festival of master classes and performances held each July in Tolentino, Italy. Thank you to all those who so generously supported the event.
