James H Donovan’s Awards

During his lifetime, Senator James H Donovan was the recipient of various impressive awards. One of these was the Gold Baton Award, Utica Symphony Orchestra, Inc., that he received in 1987.  This orchestra is somewhat unique in the Central New York Area since there are very few like it that are made up of a group of professional symphonies “providing high quality symphonic music that is accessible to all residents of our region and actively contributes to the economic, social and educational development of the Mohawk Valley through performance and outreach activities.”
