BridgeMusik Gala 2025 – A Night to Remember!
We’re still buzzing from an incredible evening at the BridgeMusik Gala, held at Roost/Union Arts Center in Sparkill! It was a night filled with spectacular music, delicious food, and a warm, joyful community as we celebrated the legendary @carolwincenc_official.A huge shout-out to the amazing musicians who brought the night to life: Carol Wincenc (flute), Tanya Witek (flute), David Budway (piano), Cameron Brown (bass), Tony Jefferson (drums), Henry Sung-Ho Yang (piano), Kristi Giles (viola), Melissa Aleles (flute), John Merrill (guitar), and Jim Greene (bass). Each performance was unforgettable!
Thank you to Keith Buterbaugh, our Advisory Board Member and wonderful Master of Ceremonies—your warmth and humor set the perfect tone for the night.
A special thank-you to Advisory Board Member Heather Hurley for the stunning flower arrangements that added such beauty and elegance to the evening!
With heartfelt gratitude to Maria Santini and Betsy Franco Feeney, our gracious hosts at the beautiful Roost/Union Arts Center—thank you for opening your doors and hearts to BridgeMusik and making the evening so welcoming and magical.
We were thrilled to feature talented students from The Juilliard School (studying with Carol) and Montclair State University (studying with Tanya). One of the most moving moments was their heartfelt performance of a new work by Beata Moon, commissioned by BridgeMusik—a stunning testament to creativity and collaboration.
A special shout-out to our cherished BridgeMusik community—both those who joined us in person and those cheering from afar. We felt your love every step of the way.
And to our young musicians (now all grown up!) who’ve been part of BridgeMusik since the beginning: you are the soul of this journey.
Endless thanks to our families, friends, and supporters. Your dedication means the world to us.
