For the third year in a row, Des and Mary Ann Lee threw us a very swank lunch, served in the foyer of Powell Hall. The Lees are a couple of the best friends a symphony orchestra could ever have. They’ve given the orchestra lots of money, but they have also given it their time, their love, and their care – which all go way beyond the swank lunch.
David Robertson and Orli Shaham arrived with the twins, Nathan and Alex. If I have it right, David held Nathan, who looked out; and Orli held Alex, who looked in. In the elevator after lunch, the parents imagined that Nathan would be the salesman, Alex the philosopher. A good combination to have in any family.
