An “incredibly generous" gift from Leslie Anne Miller and Richard B. Worley is going toward renaming the home of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
“It’s profoundly inspiring,” said Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of the Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center Inc. “When I look at Rich and Leslie’s total devotion to the work of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Kimmel Center, this is yet another chapter in a lifetime of total dedication to the arts in Philadelphia.”
“Every time we will set foot on this stage, every time we perform, rehearse, every time we look into the audience and see new faces, because that’s also our goal, we will be reminded of Marian Anderson and her legacy,” he said.“But might I say, maybe it makes it better to say, ‘No phones in Marian Anderson Hall.’”
“Marian had such an important role in the image of the city,” said Ginette DePreist, who took over the Anderson estate after the death of her husband, conductor, who was Anderson’s nephew. “She carried Philadelphia on her shoulder throughout her career. She was always very proud to tell people where she came from and what the city had done for her in terms of support.”
