Ruth Bader Ginsburg tribute required innovative donations
The upcoming world premiere at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra of a new classical music piece inspired by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would probably not have been possible if it wasnโt for a bunch of lawyers in the Chicago area, a Long Island fine arts foundation and an award-winning pianist and composer who put the whole deal together.

With โprofound sorrowโ: Ginsburg lies in state at US Capitol
Ginsburg died at the age of 87 on Sept. 18 and is the first women to lie in state at the Capitol. Mourners gathered to honor Ginsburg under coronavirus distancing restrictions with the nation in political turmoil. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was with โprofound sorrowโ that she welcomed Ginsburg and opened the private service. Spectators booed and chanted โvote him outโ as the president stood silently near Ginsburgโs casket at the top of the courtโs front steps. As visitors paid tribute at Ginsburgโs casket, resting atop the catafalque used for Abraham Lincoln, the Bidens quietly joined.
