Description of Event: the conductorless GRAMMY®-Award winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (“edge-of-the-seat intensity” - The New York Times) will honor Clark’s Botanicals founder Francesco Clark and his husband, Global Infrastructure Partners’ Alberto Mihelcic Bazzana during the 2026 Annual Gala at Guastavino’s in New York City on June 10. Alberto Mihelcic Bazzana and Francesco Clark are a powerhouse couple whose careers span finance, beauty, and music (People). Alberto, a Managing Director at BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners and former professional cellist, has led more than $5 billion in infrastructure and renewable energy deals, while Francesco, after a spinal cord injury at twenty-four, built Clark’s Botanicals into an award-winning skincare brand carried by Saks Fifth Avenue, Goop, and Bluemercury. Founded in 1972 by cellist Julian Fifer, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is a radical experiment in musical democracy, proving for over fifty years what happens when exceptional artists gather with total trust in each other and faith in the creative process. That spirit is very much alive today, with Orpheus at home at Carnegie Hall and committed to making music accessible to all New Yorkers through free concerts, school programs, and work with those living with dementia.
