Mr. Fogel visited the Peninsula Music Festival in August 2006 when he was President of the League. He shared his observations and expertise with the orchestra, board, and staff during his visit and provided much helpful information and feedback.
We asked him to summarize his impressions of the Peninsula Music Festival on video so we could share them on our web site. He enthusiastically agreed and invited us to come to his office at Roosevelt University in Chicago on March 17, 2009. It was a beautiful record-setting warm day in Chicago, and the windows were open to the breezes as he shared his thoughts. This video is also available as a podcast. (subscribe via this link)
