The 2013 Peter Hemmings dinner honoring Eva and Marc Stern was an evening to remember.  The Sterns were honored for their stellar contribution to LA Opera, the arts, education and cultural endeavors in Los Angeles and beyond

It’s been said “time flies when you are having fun”. My two years are almost over and then I will join my fourteen predecessors who paved the way, all of whom we honored last year at the Hemmings Award Dinner. This year the Hemmings event will honor Eva and Marc Stern, recognized for their remarkable contributions to LA Opera and the arts in Los Angeles. I hope many of you will again join us for that occasion. Read more about the Hemmings Dinner in this Bravo issue.
