FAU’s event recognized a $5 million gift from the Palm Beach Pops to transform music education at the school. Co-produced by Jon Lappin, Kevin Wilt and Michael Zager, it drew administrators, donors, friends and sponsors to the intimate Eleanor R. Baldwin House. Performances were given by Cornelia Brubeck, Ranses Colón, Frank Derrick and Phil Hinton. FAU faculty members Monica Berovides-Hidalgo and Courtney Jones also were part of the event. ‘This gift encompasses all the beauty a legacy can offer every highly regarded music student as they pursue their musical journey,’  Lappin said.  ‘From scholarships to exceptional instruments, master classes to fellowships, the funding will ensure the foundation of business acumen coupled with the nationally recognized music education will continue in perpetuity.’
