Margie and I are most delighted to continue to be sponsors of the Ravinia

Festival and the variety of the musical tastes it provides. is is the most

glorious music festival that we have ever attended throughout the last 55

years. I personally have been regularly attending Ravinia concerts for over

60 years. We should all continue to be

supporters of this North Shore treasure,

which has enriched our lives for so

many generations.

Harriet Bernbaum, in memory of Keren-Or

Bernbaum and Harry H. Bernbaum

e concert on July 12 is given in memory of

Harry Bernbaum and our daughter Keren-Or

Bernbaum. ey were both avid music lovers.

Keren was a mezzo-soprano, singing in opera

and French art song recitals; Harry was

just avid. Ravinia has been in our lives for as

far back as I can remember. It is a gem in

Chicago’s cultural crown, and it should be

our legacy to support its future, not just for classical music, but all of the

many genres that are produced during the festival season. Just do it!

For your children and grandchildren. We are so proud of Ravinia’s long

and accomplished history.
