An anonymous donor has made one of the largest known bequests to an orchestra, and it’s going to Sarasota, in the state of Florida,
The money will go to building a 1,700-seat concert hall and a 700-seat recital hall, with rehearsal rooms, offices, and educational facilities. How is that done? The donor made an initial $10 million commitment to help secure the land at 5701 Fruitville Road debt-free, and later committed an additional $50 million investment.
The orchestra recently chose Giancarlo Guerrero as music director.
