The fifth Annual Meeting of the Ridgefield Orchestra Foundation’s Louise Peck Legacy Society was held at Dan and Annette O’Brien’s home on May 4th. A financial update of the Ridgefield Orchestra Foundation investment portfolio was given, along with a presentation of the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra’s 2017-2018 season. The highlight of the evening was the wonderful musical performance by RSO principal cellist Nicholas Hardie, accompanied on piano by Tomoko Uchino.
Louise Peck (1920-1999) was a passionate promoter of the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra, a graduate of Barnard College, a poet and a patron of the arts. Upon her death Louise Peck bequeathed a substantial gift to the Ridgefield Orchestra Foundation. In her honor the Louise Peck Legacy Society was formed as a fitting tribute to the philanthropist. The Ridgefield Orchestra Foundation exists to provide enduring and sustainable classical music programs and increase the RSO’s involvement in the greater Ridgefield community.
