The Peggy Rockefeller Concert 2012-2013

The Rockefeller University is pleased to announce its 2012–2013 Peggy Rockefeller Concerts, a subscription series of outstanding musical performances by internationally acclaimed artists. The concerts are held on weekday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the university's Caspary Auditorium, 1230 York Avenue (at East 66th Street) on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Founded in 1958 by Professor Theodore Shedlovsky, the concert series was renamed in 1996 in memory of Peggy Rockefeller, wife of longtime chair of the university's Board of Trustees, David Rockefeller. These concerts provide a unique opportunity to hear world-renowned artists at affordable prices made possible by university sponsorship and your gifts in support of the series.
