The Malmud-Kravitz Foundation
Dr. Leon Malmud, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, is retired from a career as a radiologist at Temple University Children's Medical Center.  Dr. Malmud served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Temple University Health System from 1996 to 2001.

Leon and Elsa have been Philadelphia Orchestra season subscribers since 1965. In addition to attending special events throughout the season, the couple subscribe to four subscription series. They frequently attend concerts with their daughters, Susan and Anne. In 2017, Leon and Elsa established The Henrietta Varbalow Kravitz Music Library Fund at The Philadelphia Orchestra to support the acquisition of musical scores in perpetuity. The fund is named in memory of Elsa’s late mother who began attending Philadelphia Orchestra concerts in 1930.

The workshop is structured around a concert program containing a variety of problematic works to be used as examples and referenced throughout each session; attendees will gain insight on the entire process, step by step, through presentations by experienced librarians, beginning with a concert program through performance and beyond.
