“Every time I step foot in Carnegie Hall, I feel like it’s my second home,” says Mrs. Patty Allen, a treasured member of the Isaac Stern Society, devoted Carnegie Hall Patron, and wife of the late composer Robert Allen. Chances are, you’ve already begun listening to Robert’s classic song “Home for the Holidays” to ring in this holiday season. His other iconic songs—“Moments to Remember,” “It’s Not for Me to Say,” and, of course, “Chances Are”—still remain staples of popular culture.
