The Counterpoint Group would like to congratulate Barry Tucker and the entire Tucker family for what is certain to be a concert to be remembered. On Sunday, November 22nd, the Richard Tucker Music Foundation put on its annual Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala and it was a concert that even the most virgin of opera ears would have loved! The lineup of performers included Samuel Ramey, Maria Guleghina, Anna Netrebko, Susan Graham, and more. Also, Stephen Costello, the 2009 Tucker Award winner performed. His young tenor voice carried throughout Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center! One of the great stars of the evening though was Maestro Fabio Luisi. His control of the MET orchestra was exemplary. He kept showmanship to a minimum and instead allowed his baton to lead a world class orchestra to the “promised land” of music. The 2+ hour performance as followed by dinner where the speakers included Sanforfd Fisher, the Chairman of the Richard Tucker Foundation, as well as President Barry Tucker, Trustee Edward Cardinal Egan, and award recipient Stephen Costello. Champagne and wine flowed and the food was out of this world!
Again, special congratulations to the entire Board of the Richard Tucker Foundation for a truly successful evening.
