Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s. “The Florida Project”, as it was known, was intended to present a distinct vision with its own diverse set of attractions. Walt Disney’s original plans also called for the inclusion of an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” (EPCOT), a planned community intended to serve as a test bed for new city-living innovations. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, during the initial planning of the complex. After his death, the company wrestled with the idea of whether to bring the Disneyworld project to fruition. However, Walt’s older brother, Roy, came out of retirement to make sure Walt’s biggest dream was realized. Construction started in 1967, with the company instead building a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning the experimental concepts for a planned community. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in the complex, in 1971, followed by Epcot (1982), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (1989), and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (1998). It was Roy who insisted the name of the entire complex be changed from Disneyworld to Walt Disney World, ensuring that people would remember that the project was Walt’s dream.

In 2018, Walt Disney World was the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an average annual attendance of more than 58 million.[4] The resort is the flagship destination of Disney’s worldwide corporate enterprise and has become a popular staple in American culture. In 2020, Walt Disney World was chosen to host the NBA Bubble for play of the 2019–20 season of the NBA to resume at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Actor Kevin Spacey to Introduce World Peace Orchestra Inaugural Youth
“Play for Peace” Concert at Lincoln Center September 10th
New York, NY • The World Peace Orchestra (WPO) (www.peaceorchestra.org/concert/) is
bringing together more than 100 students from over 50 countries across the globe to perform
in an inaugural classical music concert on September 10, 2013 at Lincoln Center. This sold-out
event will be the only global youth orchestra that combines both classical and ethnic instruments.
WPO is a nonprofit organization that brings together young musical talent from around
the world in its first annual New York City concert to demonstrate how the unifying power of
music can powerfully transcend social and cultural boundaries.
A star-studded evening is planned at Lincoln Center – during the concert, the musicians will be
led by guest Lithuanian conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius and will be joined by world-renowned
violinist Alexander Markov. Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey will also be in attendance
to introduce the orchestra. The celebrity host committee also includes Deepak Chopra,
award-winning singers Tony Orlando, Lee Greenwood and Neil Sedaka, astronaut Buzz
Aldrin and Emmy-winning TV and radio host Rita Cosby.
“Participating in the World Peace Orchestra concert represents diversity and the power of what
we can do together to celebrate what unites us,” Spacey said. “Music is universal and I am
honored to get to introduce these fine young musicians.”
The September concert is the culmination of a month-long program run by WPO that is dedicated
to empowering young people from countries around the world, as there will be young
musicians from Iraq, Libya, Rwanda, Haiti, Kenya, Uganda, Georgia, Mexico, Ethiopia,
Vietnam and more, all spreading their message of peace through music and serving as young
leaders in their own communities. For many of the students, especially those from conflict regions,
the program marks their first trip to the United States.
“Regardless of what country you’re from, regardless of your age, ethnicity, or background,
music plays a role in all our lives. WPO’s primary focus is to stimulate harmony between people
by tapping in to their love of music,” says Scott Noppe-Brandon, Spokesperson and Leadership
Team Member at WPO. “The inaugural concert at Lincoln Center is the launching pad
for WPO to grow and bring unique opportunities to young musicians around the world.”
Kevin Spacey Tony Orlando Rita Cosby Deepak Chopra Neil Sedaka

The concert will feature music from: Beethoven’s “Coriolan Overture,” Leonard Bernstein’s
“West Side Story,” Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Capriccio Espagnol,” Astor Piazzolla’s “Libertango,” Vittorio
Monti’s “Czardas,” Edvard Grieg’s “Anitra’s Dance,” “Hava Nagila,” “Hallelujah,” and
“Saba.” J. MASSENET – Meditation from the Opera “Thais” for violin and orchestra N. PAGANINI
– Caprice No. 24, opus 1 for solo violin
“THE ROCK CONCERTO” – for six string electric violin; rock band; symphony orchestra and
choir – Music by Alexander Markov and James V. Remington
For more information, please visit the Lincoln Center website: http://lc.lincolncenter.org/shows/.

About the World Peace Orchestra:
Founded in New York in 2012, the World Peace Orchestra is a unique nonprofit organization
that encourages the growth of budding musical talent in youth from around the world. WPO
celebrates the unity and diversity of global culture through our annual concert featuring over
134 young musicians from 50 countries playing both ethnic and classical instruments.
Follow The World Peace Orchestra on Facebook at www.facebook.com/WorldPeaceOrchestra

Friars Club Foundation to Honor

Legendary Singer Connie Francis and

Leading Businessman and Philanthropist Leonard A. Wilf at Annual Gala!

WHO:     Connie Francis, Leonard A. Wilf, Jay Black, Pat Cooper, Neil Sedaka, Tony Orlando, and more to be announced…

WHAT:   The Friars Foundation Applause Award Gala

WHEN:   Monday, June 6, 2011

WHERE: The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, 301 Park Avenue (at 50th street),NYC

A WORD ABOUT THE FRIARS FOUNDATION

Whether we experience the thrill of a live performance or the delight of listening to a great symphony, we know how much power the arts have in changing society.

The Friars Foundation was established in 1977 as the charitable arm of the Friars Club. It is a publicly supported Foundation and is the conduit through which the Friars accomplish one of its major goals: the betterment of our society, particularly in the area of the performing arts.

The mission of the Friars Foundation is to help performing arts groups create excellent innovative and affordable programs for the enrichment, education, and enjoyment of diverse audiences and participants. The Foundation also helps prepare the next generation of performers and musical artists through scholarship programs for students studying the performing arts.

With the decrease in government subsidy for the performing arts the Friars Foundation is more than ever aggressively seeking to carry out its mission to foster the arts for future generations.

* Abbot Frank Sinatra once said: “Their continuous good work for charity rather than their great triumphs on the stages of the world is the true glory of this band of earthly angels known as the Friars.”
