Citizens Interested in Arts to host 2011 luncheon at Fontainebleau 3/8/11

Judy Drucker, Beloved Impresaria Of South Florida’s Classical Music World, To Be Honored As “Champion Of The Arts” By Citizens Interested In Arts, Inc. (Cia)

Annual membership luncheon to be held on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at Fontainebleau Hotel

Acknowledging her more than 40 years as South Florida’s peerless presenter of classical music and dance, Judy Drucker, internationally famed impresaria and friend to scores of the world’s most honored musical artists, will be the recipient of the Citizens Interested in Arts (CIA) 2011 Champion of the Arts Award at the organization’s annual fund-raising membership luncheon on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at Fontainebleau Hotel.

Currently busy re-launching her long-time Concert Association of Florida which will be presenting a mix of four classical and dance events to be held at both the Fillmore Miami Beach and the New World Center, Drucker is universally regarded as among the nation’s most driving forces in capturing the world’ greatest symphony orchestras, opera singers and dance companies for presentation to both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Along the way of the more than 40 years since she began a series at Miami Beach’s Temple Beth Sholom, Drucker created long-time friendships with such classical icons as Artur Rubenstein, Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, Pavarotti, Beverly Sills, Joan Sutherand, Renee Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Pinchas Zukerman.

Now in its 12 year, the 2011 CIA luncheon, chaired by Lenore Toby-Simmons with Hollis Friemark, co-chair, will mark another step forward in their ever-growing reputation as one of the key South Florida organizations that devote total efforts and funds to financially support the diverse array of performance and visual arts organizations that color our community. To date, CIA, with a membership numbering nearly 300 volunteers with no paid employees, has recorded $600,000 in grants.

Reservations are $85 with Patron tickets $100. Checks may be payable to Citizens Interested in Arts, Inc., attention Madelyn Fradkin 20350 West Country Club Drive #4-119 Aventura, Fl, 33160 or by calling Lenore 305-733-0061
