The Event: A tribute to the late Martin Feinstein, the first executive director of the Kennedy Center and general manager of the Washington Opera, who started the Young Concert Artist Series (which has presented the Washington debuts of exceptional young musicians from all over the world since 1979). The Scene: Guests were dazzled by a concert from Young Concert Artists Jennifer Check, (soprano) and DaXun Zhang (double bass), followed by a seated dinner and a live auction initiated by a serenade from the gala chairmen. The Guests: Marcia Feinstein, Gala Chairmen Anthony DiResta and Terrance Mason, Wayne and Beth Gibbens, Kenneth R. Woodcock, Bitsey Folger, Karon Cullen, Roland Celette, Ann Stock, Rolf Graage, Keiko Kaplan, Judith Terra, Dr. Ahmad Esfandiary and his wife Judy, Gilan Tocco Corn, Tunkey and Richard Riley and Renee Robinson.
