In Memory of Keene H. Addington II

The Keene H. Addington II memorial concert fund was

established in 1995 in memory of Keene Addington,

a former board member and dedicated supporter of

the Ravinia Festival. A lifelong resident of the Chicago

area and an energetic leader in both business and civic

duties, Keene was passionate about Ravinia and its

role in bringing world-class music to the Chicago area. Prior to his death,

Keene was Campaign Chairman and Trustee for “Designs for the Future:

Magnifying Ravinia’s Magic,” a major funding initiative in which he was a

driving force behind its inception and success. As in all his endeavors, Keene

Addington approached his participation in the Ravinia Festival with energy

and determination. The Keene H. Addington II memorial fund is proud to

participate in the ongoing support of the Ravinia Festival.

Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation

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

Festival and the variety of the musical tastes it provides. This 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

The concert on July 12 is given in memory of

Harry Bernbaum and our daughter Keren-Or

Bernbaum. They 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.

In Honor of Sandra K. Crown

Sandy has always believed that “the arts are the implicit

language of peace in the world, with Ravinia the shining

star.” When she was chairman of the Ravinia Women’s

Board, the board began to fundraise. Her children worked

with the board and with her when the board started the

Friendship Booth, which evolved into Ravinia’s Festival

Shop. Her children chose to honor her with a very

generous gift to the endowment fund, in perpetuity. This gift helps support

the Ravinia Festival and will be celebrated on August 14th at the Michael

Feinstein and Kristin Chenoweth concert. Ravinia was the first to highlight

American Classic Music Theater, followed by the Lyric Opera of Chicago and

the Goodman Theatre.

The Fremont Foundation

Ravinia has been a very important part of our summer

experience. The Fremont family is very pleased to sponsor

the performance featuring Ray Chen in the Martin Theatre

on July 25, which we know will be a wonderful evening

and a great addition to the summer at Ravinia.

The Madigan Family

Our family has come to Ravinia for four

generations, and it is especially rewarding to

help make memorable music experiences again

this year. We enjoy spending our summer

evenings here with friends and family and are

proud to support the efforts of the festival to

present exciting concerts in such a beautiful

setting.
