better moms make a better
world. At every meeting
there will be a speaker
or video that gives practical
tools and insight into
the specific things that are
important to you. MOPS
meets 9-11 a.m. on the
first and third Friday of the
month. Email mopscchp@

Itzhak Perlman to headline Ravinia Gala
Submitted by Ravinia
One of the classical
world’s most sought-after
artists, the legendary violinist
Itzhak Perlman, will
headline Ravinia’s July 29
Gala, joining conductor
Christoph Eschenbach and
the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra. Hosted by Ravinia’s
Women’s Board,
the Gala supports the notfor-profit
festival and its
REACH*TEACH*PLAY
education programs,
which serve 85,000 people
in Cook and Lake
Counties.
Due to continued physical
therapy prompted by
inflammation in his left
arm, the originally scheduled
soloist, pianist Lang
Lang, has been forced to
cancel his concert appearances
through the end of
the summer. He extends
his apologies and looks
forward to making music
again soon. Ravinia wishes
him well.
“Ravinia lives under
a lucky star indeed that
a performer of this magnitude
would step up in
this way, and we owe this
extremely rare assist to
Mr. Perlman’s unwavering
commitment to children
and music education,
along with his steadfast
appreciation of Ravinia,
the CSO and Maestro
Eschenbach. We cannot
thank him enough,” said
Ravinia President and
CEO Welz Kauffman.
“Itzhak joins the entire
Ravinia Family in wishing
one of our own, Lang
Lang, a complete and
speedy recovery along
with an open invitation.”
This will be Perlman’s
60th appearance at Ravinia
(including three galas
and six master classes)
since his festival debut in
1966. His many awards
include the 2000 National
Medal of Arts, 2003
Kennedy Center Honors,
2015 Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the 2016
Genesis Award, and 15
Grammys including the
National Academy of Recording
Arts and Sciences
Lifetime Achievement
Award. He performs on
the Soil Stradivarius made
in 1714.
Perlman’s repertoire
will be announced in the
coming weeks.

In Memoriam
Edward Magid
Dr. Edward B. Magid,
87, of Highland Park, died
June 1. Dr. Magid devoted
his life to his family and
to heartfelt service in the
medical field in which he
was active for more than
60 years. He began his
medical career as a captain
at Wright-Patterson

he contributed to the historical

There he developed simulation

Karen her medical degree
at her graduation
there in 1989. Dr. Magid
took great pride in teaching
medical students at
his alma mater, winning
an award for best-loved
teacher of the year. His
love for medicine was
matched by his enthusiastic
participation in the
North Shore Congregation
Israel community. There
he enjoyed weekly worship,
study and numerous
treasured friendships.
Dr. Magid was renowned
for his warmth, kindness,
humor, professional integrity,
loyalty and gentleness.
He was our beloved
husband, father, stepfather,

impression on all those
who were blessed to know
him. He will be deeply
missed.
