Growing Uptown was amazing!
Thank you Helena Barker for the beautiful music played as the opening act and during the dinner and cocktails. Helena Barker is the Senior accompanist for Houston Ballet Academy and we are honored to have her as our opening act.
We thank Arturo Nicolayevsky for not only donating the rental of the piano, but also donating his time completely, to perform for us at this historic event. Arturo is a graduate of the famous and prestigious Juilliard School in New York. He has played concerts in USA, Mexico, Europe, Israel, and major music halls worldwide.
We are so thankful to our committee for all of their hard work. We thank Laykie's Gourmet for the wonderful food, Elisheva Golani Photography & River Oaks Plant House for the flowers.
On top of all of it, we are thankful to the honorees, Maurice Purcell, Rivka & Seth Weisberg, Michael Pasternak and Naomi Bier for all that they have done, and continue to do, helping us continue Growing Uptown!
