Mark Stryker Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Given the awful stretch of news we seem to be in, I thought the board might enjoy this lovely story from today's paper about a philanthropist leaving each musician in the Detroit Symphony a $5,000 bequest. http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/07/15/marjorie-fisher-detroit-symphony-orchestra/87084818/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yes, a wonderful story. Wish that was more common from the very wealthy. It would be nice if that same sort of bequest from the rich was given to jazz musicians too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnblitweiler Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 You have some endearing philanthropists up there in Detroit. First that gigantic gift to the Detroit Jazz Festival and now this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
