Arts Immersion Salon: Fundraiser

The Four Seasons with Joshua Bell

The Four Seasons With Joshua Bell

Our Annual fundraiser was the Salon of Salons -- thanks in large part to our friend (and literally the world’s greatest violinist!) Joshua Bell who performed an unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime program with Frederic Chiu for an intimate audience of Beechwood Arts Friends and Supporters. James Naughton and Rachel Rival read poetry of Vivaldi between movements.  The day started with a pre-concert Carriage House Conversation between Frederic and Joshua who have known each other since their teens.  The moving concert was followed by a reception and auction and a 4-course (four season), sit-down tasting dinner expertly done by Chef Raúl.  The ‘Four Seasons’ theme extended to the visual arts, film and the performing arts.  An incredible event and successful fundraiser!
