The New York Philharmonic’s celebrations of the Lunar New Year returned, welcoming the Year of the Tiger with a happy roar. The concert featured performances by conductor Earl Lee, violinist Stella Chen, and soprano Hera Hyesang Park. It was only part of the colorful and festive Gala evening, presented by Starr International Foundation and chaired by Board Members Angela Chen and Misook Doolittle as well as Board Co-Chairman Oscar L. Tang and his wife, Agnes Hsu-Tang. The Gala Chairs concluded their letter to the gathered guests with a joyous call: “Let us leap into the Lunar New Year with a tiger’s vigor and lead New York’s next renaissance, together, with hope and the power of music.” (All photos by Chris Lee unless otherwise noted.)
