Music boss Michele Anthony has become the first woman to receive a New York Jewish charity’s Music Visionary of the Year award.
The United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies has honoured Ms Anthony, Universal Music Group’s executive vice president, for her “professional accomplishments and commitment to philanthropy.”
Ms Anthony, who has more than 35 years’ experience in the industry, will be presented with the award at the charity’s lunch in June.
Money raised at the event will support UJA efforts, including a Music for Youth initiative, which provides children’s music education programming.
