ANNETTE RICKEL

RICKEL--Dr. Annette Urso. The board, musicians and staff of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center greatly mourn the passing of our dear friend Dr. Annette Urso Rickel. An avid supporter of the arts and education, Dr. Rickel joined the CMS board of directors in 2002 and became Emerita in 2019. During her service she chaired the Development Committee and was a member of the Executive Committee, lending her vast knowledge of the New York City cultural landscape to guide the organization in furthering its mission. Dr. Rickel will be remembered fondly for her deep intelligence, curiosity, creativity, passion for CMS and our musicians, as well as her elegant sophistication and grace. Our thoughts are with her beloved husband, John Leone, and family. Elinor Hoover, Chair David Finckel and Wu Han, Artistic Directors Suzanne Davidson, Executive Director
