PEGGY ROCKEFELLER CONCERTS 2010-2011
The Rockefeller University
The Peggy Rockefeller Concert Series consists of six musical performances each year by internationally acclaimed artists in a venue unmatched in New York City—the University’s Caspary Auditorium.
In 1958, Rockefeller chemist Theodore Shedlovsky, an ardent music lover, invited a group of his musician friends to perform in the new auditorium, and the Rockefeller Concert Series was born. After beloved concert-goer Peggy Rockefeller, wife of honorary chairman and life trustee David Rockefeller passed away in 1996, President Torsten Wiesel proposed that the concerts be renamed in her honor.
For many years, Dr. Shedlovsky put together spectacular concerts, presenting high-caliber musicians and ensembles. Later, he entrusted the concert management to his colleague Gerald Edelman, a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist. Currently organized by Professor George N. Reeke, Jr., The Peggy Rockefeller Concerts remain a faculty initiative, exemplifying the important partnership of science and music.

An International Award Recognizing Outstanding Women in Biomedical Research
2009 recipient Suzanne Cory, Ph.D., F.R.S.
Special Guest and Speaker Wafaa El-Sadr, M.D., M.P.H. Director, International Center for AIDS Care and Treatment Programs, Columbia University, 2008 MacArthur Fellow
The Pearl Meister Greengard Prize, awarded by The Rockefeller University, was established by the late Dr. Paul Greengard, who served as the University’s Vincent Astor Professor, and his wife, the sculptor Ursula von Rydingsvard. Dr. Greengard donated his entire monetary share of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Rockefeller and, in partnership with generous supporters of the University, created this major international prize that recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding women scientists.
Each year, the University invites a woman who has achieved distinction in such fields as government, international relations, business, journalism, science, and the arts to speak at the award ceremony and present the Prize. It is named in memory of Dr. Greengard’s mother, who died giving birth to him.
