This concert, in memory of Mary Kernan Butler and Martha Gilbert Butler, 
is made possible by The Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Family Foundation, Inc.

Mary Kernan Butler, friend, founding member, patron and trustee of the Chamber Music Society of Utica, died on 25 January 1997. Martha Gilbert Butler, her daughter, and also friend, member, patron and trustee of this Society, preceded her in death on 8 November 1996. Gilbert Butler, son and brother, and his wife, Ildiko, have given an endowment in their honor, through the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Family Foundation, Inc., to be used for that which these two ladies long held dear; a fine concert to be held each year as part of our series.

There will be a reception at Fountain Elms following this performance.




This concert series is made possible with public funds from
the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency.
