Palm Beach Symphony Welcomes New Board Members: Strengthening Cultural Leadership in Classical Music
“Palm Beach Symphony’s board expansion integrates expertise from 2 diverse fields: healthcare and intellectual property law.”
We are thrilled to announce a significant development in the leadership of Palm Beach Symphony, as we welcome two distinguished professionals to our board of directors. This expansion marks a pivotal moment in our ongoing commitment to fostering classical music outreach programs and enhancing our orchestra community engagement. The addition of these new members not only brings fresh perspectives but also strengthens our ability to serve our community and nurture the next generation of musical talent.
Introducing Our New Board Members
It is with great pleasure that we introduce Dr. Martha Rodriguez and Attorney Adam Wolek as the newest members of our esteemed board of directors. Their unique backgrounds in healthcare and intellectual property law respectively, promise to bring invaluable insights to our organization.
Dr. Martha Rodriguez: A Healthcare Professional with a Passion for the Arts
Dr. Martha Rodriguez brings over 35 years of experience as an internist to our board. Her journey from Cuba to the United States at the age of 14 is a testament to her resilience and determination. Throughout her career, Dr. Rodriguez has been at the forefront of integrating healthcare and education, piloting programs that bridge the gap between schools and medical facilities.
As the 2023 Palm Beach County Medical Society President, Dr. Rodriguez has demonstrated exceptional leadership in the healthcare sector. Her recent retirement has allowed her to focus more intensely on her love for the arts, particularly in sharing cultural experiences with her granddaughter. This personal commitment aligns perfectly with our mission to ensure future generations appreciate classical music.
Adam Wolek: Bridging Intellectual Property Law and Music
Adam Wolek, a partner at Fox Rothschild, brings a wealth of experience in intellectual property law to our board. His expertise in protecting the IP rights of global companies across various industries, including software and wireless technologies, will be invaluable as we navigate the increasingly digital landscape of music performance and distribution.
Wolek’s background is particularly relevant to our mission, as he has successfully litigated numerous patent, copyright, and trademark infringement cases. His understanding of these complex legal areas will be crucial in safeguarding our orchestra’s creative works and supporting our young musicians as they develop their careers.
Strengthening Our Commitment to Cultural Leadership
The addition of Dr. Rodriguez and Mr. Wolek to our board significantly enhances our ability to fulfill our mission of engaging, educating, and entertaining the greater community of the Palm Beaches through inspiring orchestral music performances.
“The symphony’s outreach includes donating instruments and performing orchestral music, impacting hundreds of young musicians annually.”
Their diverse expertise will contribute to several key areas of our organization:
- Enhancing Classical Music Outreach Programs: With Dr. Rodriguez’s experience in community engagement and Mr. Wolek’s legal acumen, we are better positioned to develop and protect innovative outreach initiatives.
- Strengthening Young Musician Instrument Donation Programs: Mr. Wolek’s involvement in coordinating significant instrument donations will help expand our capacity to provide resources to aspiring musicians.
- Advancing Healthcare and Arts Integration: Dr. Rodriguez’s medical background opens new possibilities for programs that explore the intersection of music and well-being.
- Expanding Cultural Institutions in Palm Beach County: Both new board members have demonstrated a commitment to supporting local cultural organizations, which will help strengthen our ties within the community.

Fostering the Next Generation of Musicians

These programs are crucial for ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of classical music in our community.
Instrument Donation Program
Our instrument donation program has been a cornerstone of our youth outreach efforts. Thanks to the expertise of board members like Mr. Wolek, who played a key role in coordinating a significant donation of 62 half-size violins, we can expand this program’s reach. By providing instruments to aspiring musicians who might otherwise lack access, we’re opening doors to musical education for countless young people in our community.
Educational Concerts and Workshops
We believe that exposure to live orchestral music performances is crucial for developing a lifelong appreciation for classical music. Our educational concerts and workshops, designed specifically for young audiences, provide an immersive experience that goes beyond traditional music education. With Dr. Rodriguez’s insight into youth engagement, we anticipate developing even more effective and inspiring programs.
Mentorship Opportunities
Connecting young musicians with experienced professionals is vital for their growth and development. Our board members, including our new additions, bring a wealth of experience not just in music but in various professional fields. This diverse knowledge base allows us to offer holistic mentorship that covers not only musical technique but also career development and personal growth.

Music Therapy Initiatives
We’re exploring partnerships with local healthcare institutions to bring the healing power of music to patients. These initiatives could range from bedside performances to interactive music therapy sessions, all designed to promote healing and well-being through the power of classical music.
Stress Relief Through Music
In today’s fast-paced world, stress relief is more important than ever. We’re developing programs that showcase how classical music can be a powerful tool for relaxation and mental health. These initiatives will not only benefit our audience but also demonstrate the relevance of classical music in addressing modern-day challenges.
Expanding Our Digital Presence
While our core focus remains on live performances, we recognize the importance of a strong digital presence in today’s world. Mr. Wolek’s expertise in intellectual property law will be invaluable as we navigate the complexities of digital distribution and online performances.
Virtual Concerts and Masterclasses
We’re expanding our offerings of virtual concerts and online masterclasses, making our performances and educational content accessible to a global audience. This digital expansion allows us to reach music lovers and aspiring musicians far beyond the confines of our physical location.
Interactive Online Learning Platforms
Developing interactive online learning platforms is another area where we’re focusing our efforts. These platforms will provide resources for music education, appreciation, and even virtual instrument lessons, further supporting our mission of fostering a love for classical music among younger generations.
Community Engagement and Partnerships
Our commitment to community engagement remains stronger than ever. With our expanded board, we’re looking to forge new partnerships and strengthen existing ones to create a more vibrant cultural landscape in Palm Beach County.
Collaborations with Local Schools
We’re expanding our collaborations with local schools, bringing live music experiences directly to students. These partnerships not only expose young people to classical music but also provide opportunities for budding musicians to perform alongside professionals.
