This performance is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2023–2024 Dobrow Series. This performance is made possible in part by the generosity of our community of supporters. Please consider giving the gift of music today.
