Founding Directors
Following the gift by Christine Herter Kendall of her beloved Garth Newel Estate, Luca and Arlene Di Cecco nurtured the Garth Newel Music Center by sharing their belief in the power of music to change lives, create friendships, and build a passionately devoted community. Their vision transformed a historic country estate into a lasting home for chamber music, education, and artistic exchange, one that continues to thrive today.
