"Wow" is right! Thanks, Roberto. That's just terrific!
And how true the following statement is:
"Mr. Bacharach's body of work is remarkable not only for its astonishing size and impact, but for the distinctiveness of his song-writing voice. He has given us a legacy of sophisticated song structures that transcend genre - complex and inventive as well as wonderfully hummable. The Chamber Orchestra feels truly privileged to add him to an august list of honorees who have made a worldwide difference through their music."
I wish I could be there!

Don't want to be a party-pooper but it's a pretty minor orchestra...

Hello-
Rob is correct to be excited, GehVorbei, this is a MAJOR honor by one of the most internationally-revered chamber orchestras on the planet!
And, as a native-Philadelphian (who lives around 15 minutes from where it is happening!!), I plan to be there by hook, crook or musical bridge!
Thanks, Roberto for bringing this to our attention!
Best to All,
Jerry

I salute you for supporting your home team and this sure is a commendable fund-raiser for the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra and Burt's involvement is just great.
Also the more significant orchestra in your home-town, the Philadelphia Orchestra, has just emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is terrific news. And maybe it can one day become an "internationally-revered orchestra" again. A status it certainly had until Muti left 20 years ago...

My orchestra can beat your orchestra at twenty paces--with one glockenspiel tied behing its' back
...
And with more key changes than a Bacharach tune!
The Fabulous Philadelphians shall return to financial solvency (they already possess musical greatness, Geh Vorbei!!)
Best,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I,too, might make an attempt to attend this gala! Originally from Phila, I return there
quite often.
This would be such a unique opportunity and , according to the Chamber's website, quite a wonderful evening is planned albeit an expensive one !
Maybe I'll see you there!
