Madoff Loss Hits Art Aid for Young in Israel

 
Published: May 20, 2009
TEL AVIV — For six months Illay Dahan had been putting in several hours a day on his cello, preparing a program of works by Bach, Fauré, Bruch and Paul Ben-Haim, an Israeli composer. Now the pressure was on, and Illay, an outgoing 12-year-old with floppy hair and glasses, was struggling to memorize the pieces.

Micha Finkelstein, 19, a cellist in the army who lives in Tekoa, a West Bank settlement, is among those applying to the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.
 
 
Rina Castelnuovo for The New York Times
Illay Dahan, 12, is one of the promising young applicants for scholarships given by the foundation.

He was preparing for Israel’s annual musical ritual, which began on Sunday, when the first of hundreds of musicians from around the country started descending on the city to audition for scholarships given by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.

Small and little known outside Israel, the foundation has enormous influence there and in classical music worldwide. Receiving one of its scholarships for lessons, conservatory tuition or study abroad is an essential stamp of approval for Israeli musicians, and the foundation counts renowned musicians like Daniel BarenboimItzhak PerlmanPinchas ZukermanGil Shaham and Yefim Bronfman as recipients when they were students. But this year, disaster looms. The foundation’s endowment of about $14 million was in the hands of Bernard L. Madoff and evaporated in his Ponzi scheme. Like other victims of the fraud the foundation received statements showing false earnings tied to the stock market, said David Homan, the foundation’s New York-based executive director.

The foundation supports dance and the visual arts as well as music, and it expects to give around 350 scholarships next year, down from about 800. The usual dozen or so new foreign scholarships will not be offered. That means fewer Israelis at the Juilliard School and other major international conservatories. The foundation runs a major music competition, which is also threatened.

All told, the foundation, established in 1939 by New York Jews who wanted to foster culture in the land that would become the state of Israel, used to give out about $2 million a year. The scholarship program is unabashedly aimed at casting Israel in a positive light. “A.I.C.F. works to create a broader understanding of Israel by facilitating opportunities to directly experience Israel’s culture,” its newsletter reads.

The foundation was one of many Jewish organizations hit hard by the Madoff scandal. The financial debacle has raised the prospect that it could shut down.

“I just can’t believe it will happen, or that people will let it happen,” said Orit Naor, its executive director in Israel.

So far about $1 million in emergency money has been raised from individuals, corporations and foundations, as well as the national lottery, to ensure that this year’s recipients are given their grants and maintain a slimmed-down program next fall. To save money the foundation dismissed most of its staff in its Tel Aviv and New York offices. A gala fund-raiser is planned for Carnegie Hall in January to celebrate the foundation’s 70th anniversary, and many of the big-name recipients will perform.

“We’re an organization looking to rebuild from a major catastrophe,” Mr. Homan said. “I have every hope that we’re going to survive.”

The loss has already meant hardship for Micha Finkelstein, 19, a cellist in the army who lives in Tekoa, a West Bank settlement. His scholarship, for lessons, was cut in half. His parents made up the difference. It’s hard to overestimate the importance of the scholarships here. They serve as credentials to be admitted to other music programs around the country. Some students choose their teachers based on the number of past scholarship winners they have taught. Some want to audition even knowing that there is no chance of a scholarship.

Mr. Bronfman, a pianist and frequent soloist with the world’s major orchestras, said the foundation’s support changed his life. “I wouldn’t have been able to continue my education,” he said. “It was as simple as that. We came from Russia with no money, no means to survive. It did a world of difference.”

Two-thirds of the players in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra are foundation veterans, Ms. Naor said. Others have received grants to buy their instruments.

In Israel, an A.I.C.F. scholarship is commonly referred to as a keren, Hebrew for foundation. Young players use the term as in, When is your keren? Did you get a keren? How much is your keren?

Not winning a foundation scholarship can be devastating to some young musicians, said Ms. Naor, a former professional flutist and recipient. “When you don’t give a scholarship, it can cause them to stop,” she added.

The foundation also lends valuable violins and cellos. Guy Braunstein, a principal violinist of the Berlin Philharmonic and keren recipient, played his audition for the orchestra on a foundation Guadagnini.

Illay received his first keren two years ago, and it paid half of his precollege tuition at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv. Payments were stopped in the spring, said his mother, Ruth Ronen-Dahan, and the family was not even sure there would be auditions this year.

But on Monday, Illay went off to play for the jury. “It went real good,” he said by telephone. “I played with no mistakes, and it was really good.” The foundation did not say exactly when he would learn the results.

When asked, during a visit to his home here last month, what rejection would mean, he put on a brave face. “It will not break me,” he said.

Ms. Ronen-Dahan, a philosophy professor at Tel Aviv University, knew exactly the keren’s importance.

“It marks the fact that he’s entered the world of music officially,” she said. “It also creates an atmosphere that you are in the international game.”

LARRY COMBS - Solo Clarinetist Emeritus, Chicago Symphony Orchestra

LARRY COMBS joined the clarinet section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1974 and was appointed its Principal Clarinet by Sir Georg Solti in 1978. Born in Charleston, West Virginia, Combs began clarinet study at the age of ten and by age thirteen was performing regularly with the Charleston Symphony, becoming that orchestra's first clarinetist at age sixteen. His teenage years provided a variety of performing opportunities; circus bands, county fairs, area dance bands, numerous jazz sessions, and even an appearance on the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour on network television with his high school clarinet quintet. (The group was runner-up to a one-legged tap dancer!)

          Summers at the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan, convinced Combs to consider music as a career, and in the fall of 1957, he entered the Eastman School of Music becoming a pupil of Stanley Hasty. Eastman provided a wealth of experiences not the least of which was studies with Hasty and the opportunity to hear him perform the great orchestral works each week in the Rochester Philharmonic.

         After graduation, Combs joined the New Orleans Philharmonic as Bass Clarinet and soon after received a draft notice for military service. Three years of military duty were spent with the U.S. Military Academy Band at West Point, which was situated near enough to New York to allow for bi-weekly study with Leon Russianoff. After leaving the Army, Combs rejoined the New Orleans Philharmonic as Solo Clarinet and in 1968, became Principal of the Montreal Symphony. 

         In his years as a members of the Chicago Symphony, Combs has made numerous solo appearances with the orchestra in works of Copland, Mozart, Brahms-Berio, Debussy, and  Corigliano and has performed under the direction of  Solti, Barenboim, Abbado, Giulini, Boulez, Levine, Bernstein, Leinsdorf and many others.  He also has been featured many times on CSO tour concerts performing Morton Gould's arrangement of "Chicago" for clarinet and orchestra. An avid chamber musician, Combs is a founding member of the Chicago Chamber Musicians, and he has appeared with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Smithsonian Chamber Ensemble. His notable chamber music experiences include joining then CSO Music Director Daniel Barenboim and cellist Yo-Yo Ma in Brahms' Trio in A Minor at Orchestra Hall in 1996 and performances at the Ravinia Festival with former Music Director Christoph Eschenbach.

          In 2002, he received his second Grammy Award for his recording of Richard Strauss' Duett-Concertino with CSO Principal Bassoon David McGill and Daniel Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His recent recording of music for winds and strings by Mozart with the Chicago Chamber Musicians was nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award. Combs has also recorded as soloist and chamber musician on the Erato, Sony, Cedille, Crystal and Summit labels.

          In June 2008, Combs retired from the orchestra, receiving the CSO’s prestigious Theodore Thomas Medallion for Distinguished Service. This award was named after the founder and first music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and is awarded to all retiring members of the Orchestra.

          Combs is currently Professor Clarinet at the De Paul University School of Music, and is married to Gail Williams, Professor of Horn at Northwestern University School of Music.  Combs’ schedule in 2009 includes appearances in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Tokyo, Helsinki, Kracow, and Stockholm.  Combs will perform as soloist with the West Virginia Symphony in April 2009 on the orchestra’s spring tour. In the Charleston area, he will conduct a master class at West Virginia State University’s Davis Hall at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 4.
