$20 Million Donation to Dance at the Music Center
Glorya Kaufman's gift is among the largest endowments ever made to Los Angeles' Music Center and its resident companies.
Rountree said Kaufman's gift is the largest single donation to the Music Center with the exception of major gifts from the late Lillian Disney, Walt Disney's widow, who launched the construction of the $274.5-million Walt Disney Concert Hall with a $50-million gift.
Including Lillian Disney's gift, the Disney family has donated more than $100 million for the hall, and Walt Disney Co. gave $20 million. The Disney family also made a $25-million gift to the Los Angeles Philharmonic to endow the Walt and Lilly Disney Chair in Conducting.
