On February 12, 2008, as part of our Year 15 anniversary celebrations, we held a special event at the exclusive Sony Club. The event, called Encore Musicale, featured students participating in our vocal music program at P.S. 180 in Harlem, the world-renowned Tokyo String Quartet, the young pianist Yuja Wang, and Celtic violinist Eileen Ivers. The music was enjoyed by all, as were the special remarks delivered by our founder and president, Midori, and past and present Board Chairs.
