ARTLEX Elevates the 2025 CaringKind Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street
The 29th Annual CaringKind Forget-Me-Not Gala — held at the iconic Cipriani 42nd Street — is one of New York’s most prominent philanthropy events, bringing together leaders in business, medicine, culture, and social impact. For such a meaningful evening, CaringKind selected ARTLEX Entertainment to provide its signature string quartet, known across New York for redefining live music at luxury galas and high-profile gatherings.
From the moment the doors opened, ARTLEX String Quartet set the emotional tone for the night. Our quartet performed a curated programme blending classical elegance with modern sophistication — music chosen to reflect the heart of CaringKind’s mission: dignity, memory, and compassionate care for individuals and families affected by dementia.
As guests entered the grand marble hall of Cipriani, the quartet’s sound created an atmosphere of warmth and refinement. Throughout the evening, attendees described the performance as “transportive,” “moving,” and “the perfect underscore to a night dedicated to humanity.” The music became more than ambiance — it became the emotional architecture of the evening, reminding guests why they were there.
For CaringKind, an organization that raised $1.5 million at this year’s gala, the ARTLEX String Quartet provided a level of artistic detail that elevated the entire experience. Thoughtful programming, seamless transitions, and the ensemble’s exceptional caliber contributed to an atmosphere that was both luxurious and deeply meaningful.
In a city known for extraordinary events, ARTLEX continues to stand apart — offering bespoke musical curation for clients who demand excellence, cultural depth, and a memorable experience. The CaringKind Gala 2025 reaffirmed our belief that live music is not just an accessory to an event — it is the element that transforms it.
