This program commemorates the lives of Dr. Hyman Levy and Jerrold Levy, and their love of music.
In endowing this annual concert in memory of Dr. Hyman Levy and Jerrold Levy, the late Mrs. Muriel Levy sought to promote the artistry and musicianship of the Musicians of Lenox Hill. Soo-Kyung Park, artistic director and founding member, has led the ensemble for nearly three decades.
Renowned as a cardiologist, scientist, and teacher at Mount Sinai Hospitals, Dr. Hyman Levy was admired for his kind spirit and diligent work ethic. Alongside his contributions to medicine, he shared a deep passion for the arts and played the violin. He often organized chamber music sessions at the hospital, and his carefully curated collection of chamber music was generously donated to the Musicians of Lenox Hill. In a particularly meaningful tribute, this year’s performance features music by Antonín Dvořák using Dr. Levy’s own personal library.
His son, Jerrold Levy, a devoted flutist, cherished his formative musical experiences at the Hebrew School of Temple Israel of the City of New York.
Together, Dr. Hyman Levy, Jerrold Levy, and Mrs. Muriel Levy—whose vision made this concert possible—leave a legacy that bridges medicine, education, faith, and music, remembered with deep affection and gratitude.
