"A few years ago, I was able to join a tour behind the scenes at Disney Hall and was "taken" with the sheet music library. I guess I'd never given that area of the LA Phil any thought. Not being a musician myself, I just never thought about the requirements for organizing the sheet music. It is such a complex situation, compiling the music for each instrument, for just one piece, not to mention, a full concert, I was just blown away! As a result, when asked how I wanted my funds to be spent, the Music Library was my first and final thought. I am guessing that not many people give sheet music much, if any, thought at all, so I'm hoping that my eventual gift will be helpful in serving and maintaining LA Phil's music library in the best possible way."

Why We Give
After moving to Los Angeles in 1948, Reese and Doris Gothie became devoted fans and subscribers of the LA Phil. Following Reese's passing, Doris wished to honor his memory and ensure that future generations would continue to be inspired by the music that uplifted them throughout their lives. In 2001, Doris Gothie donated her home—retaining the right to live there for the rest of her life—and named the Fourth horn position in the orchestra the Reese and Doris Gothie Chair. Read more about the Gothie gift and other donor stories.
