VOLUNTEERS

Linda Bame John Conconnon Alla Feldman/WHCHC Residents Rada Konvisser Esther Lebovich Svetlana & Alexandr Milovanov Judy Montague Dolly Munitz Florence Selfman

Wonderful dedicated people who give their talent, time, knowledge and experience so generously help us make it all possible. In our goals to unite the future generation of musicians internationally, we are also building a social group of supporters at our home base in Los Angeles. Many of our volunteers are young professionals who make it even more exciting. Volunteers are vital part of iPalpiti Artists International. Join us!

ERNEST LIEBLICH (1914 -2008)

Mr. Lieblich attended our first season (1998) final concert at Luckman Theater at Cal State LA, rushed backstage ecstatic with, “this is the best concert in Los Angeles I ever heard,” with a $100 donation in hand. Next we saw him at all the festival's concerts in 1999, and he has never missed even one since, as long as he was able to walk. A known philanthropist, his foundation’s generosity to iPalpiti extended beyond his passing, through 2020, in some years, supporting the entire season, and we are still beneficiaries of his vision.

THOMAS DENGLER (1937-2021)

After our first festival ended, about a month later we received our festival brochure 1998, with corrections and a $1,000 check, marked “for proof-reading.” Mr. Dengler too, became our angel; in addition to an ongoing support on Laureate Circle level, he hosted annual after-concert dinners for all iPalpiti musicians at Marie Callender’s by LACMA. With a formidable knowledge of classical music, he truly appreciated the iPalpiti artist(s) coming to his home when he was no longer able to be at the concert in person. The iPalpiti CDs stack was always by his bedside. His last check came shortly before his passing with a mark “for memories.” A gentleman of an era.

CELESTE VAN MYERS (1935 – 2022)

Mrs. Van Myers came to iPalpiti in 2004 when we put a note in our neighborhood newsletter about our concert at the just opened Disney Hall where iPalpiti was the FIRST to perform on the Disney stage before LA Phil. Since that first concert she became a steady annual supporter on Laureate Circle level. In 2014, she was honored with LA City commendation on her 10th anniversary of supporting iPalpiti, which she carried well into 2nd decade and beyond. In 2019 she wrote, “the talented musicians under the direction of Maestro Schmieder reached a new pinnacle to be heard over and over… I am proud to contribute my annual gift to such a fabulous musical group. With great admiration and affection, CVM”

MICHAEL KREMENETSKY (1958 -2022)

Michael was among founding board members. The newly formed board was present in its entirety for the very first rehearsal (July 27,1998) at Beverly Hills Public Library Auditorium - iPalpiti has become a festival-inresidence in the City of Beverly Hills since – and were in awe of the tremendous power of talent they heard from the first note played. Michael got so excited that during the break he ran to nearby Whole Foods and returned with a basket of “nourishments” for the musicians. Last summer he joined the pre-festival board meeting, with a grandiose idea for 2022. We miss his always positive and enthusiastic personae.

Young Artists International is an extraordinarily passionate organization that gave me a unique experience unlike any other. I was continually motivated by and drawn to the larger-than-life musicians we worked so hard to support. Never in my life have I been so rewarded as I was hearing them play at the Walt Disney Concert Hall – it was a night I will always remember. It was made even more special through the time I was allowed to get to know them during the festival leading up to the finale. It goes without saying that these people are truly gifted even beyond the mastery of their instruments. Working with [iPalpiti] proved to be the most supportive environment for growth as a professional. Now working for an international accounting firm, my time with Young Artists forced me to develop skills I never knew existed through the massive communication and careful organization that goes in to putting together an event like ours. All in all, I’ve realized that Young Artists seeks to benefit all who get swept up in the emotional and spiritual experience they provide. I will be hard pressed to ever find something so genuine again. David Ringe, Festival 2004 assistant.

David was a graduate of USC in Computer Science when came to YAI, and already was employed from September 2004 by Deloitte & Touche, currently with Mattel inc.
