This special performance is in honor of the late Robert Sherman of WQXR. This series is named after his mother Nadia Reisenberg. Robert Sherman (July 23, 1932 – June 27, 2023) was an American radio broadcaster, author, music critic, and educator. He achieved success as a host of such radio programs as the folk music show Woody's Children, which started on WQXR and was later broadcast by WFUV, and classical music shows The Listening Room and Young Artists Showcase, which were broadcast by WQXR in New York City. As an author, he was a music critic and columnist for The New York Times for more than twenty years as well as a writer of numerous books, including two bestsellers he co-authored with pianist and comedian Victor Borge. In May 2023, Sherman retired from radio. A month later, he died at age 90.
Light refreshments will be served in the Art Gallery following the performance.
