in memoriam
|
Since 2016, in honor of Rosemary La Mountain De Mott, who had passed away in January of that year and Zbigniew Staniszewski, Global Gala honors those who've inspired, taught, and supported the artists on stage.
In Memoriam ran from 2016 to 2019. The first virtual gala in 2020 evolved the concept. |
