Jolene and Joshua set The Soraya bar of excellence for all of us who followed
in their footsteps.”
About the Gala Celebration
The Gala Benefit honors the individual most responsible for The Soraya –
former CSUN President Jolene Koester who moved state and local leaders and
philanthropists with her vision and perseverance to open The Soraya in 2011.
Now, with more than four decades of service to higher education and the
state of California, Koester returns to The Soraya to be honored
alongside Joshua Bell, the foremost violinist of his generation. Bell’s world
travels have brought him to The Soraya more frequently than any other artist.
This occasion marks his ninth time with The Soraya. This time he leads
Academy of St Martin in the Fields, for which he serves as Music Director.
Proceed from The Soraya’s gala will benefit the organization’s arts education
program. For information on Gala tickets, please visit TheSoraya.org/Gala. For
