Philadelphia Orchestra Meets Elite in Vienna
Ambassador's Residence
Vienna, February 14, 2009
The U.S Embassy's Public Affairs Section arranged an afternoon reception for the Philadelphia Orchestra on February 14 at the Ambassador’s residence. Chargé d'Affaires Scott Kilner hosted the event, which attracted 80 patrons, journalists and guests from the business and cultural communities. The highlight of the reception was a performance by the renowned Wister Quartet, whose members are part of the Philadelphia Orchestra. After stops in the Canary Islands, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg and Hungary, the orchestra concluded its three-week European tour with two sold-out concerts at Vienna’s famed Musikverein on February 13 and 14. Our recently-departed ambassador, David F. Girard-diCarlo, has been a longtime supporter of the Orchestra and a member of its Board of Directors. Unable to attend the event, he sent a gracious note wishing the Orchestra all the best.
