• Musicians On Call (MOC), the nonprofit that brings the gift of live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities, is pleased to announce the newest member of its National Board of Directors — please welcome Darren Pfeffer, Executive Vice President of MSG Live, part of The Madison Square Garden Company.

It’s a tremendous honor to be named to the board for Musicians On Call and further support their life-changing efforts.” Pfeffer also sits on the board of directors for TAO Group and Boston Calling Events.

Pete Griffin, President of Musicians On Call, commented, “Darren has been a faithful supporter of our mission for more than a decade and we are delighted to welcome him to the Musicians On Call Board of Directors. He has an incredible influence in the live music space, his experience and vision will be instrumental in our efforts to bring the healing power of music to more patients across the country.”

“Each member of the Musicians On Call Board has significant industry expertise and a real passion for using his and her talents to better the organization,” said Mitch Glazier, President of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Chairperson of the Musicians On Call Board of Directors. “We look forward to welcoming Darren to the Board and know he will make substantial contributions to our mission.”

• Musicians On Call concurrently announced its Board of Directors slate of Officers — Glazier has been re-elected as Chairperson through January 2020. Kevin O’Toole, EVP of Hunzinger Construction Company, will remain as Secretary through January 2019 and Stephen Mack, Co-Founder of Mack Real Estate Group will continue his term as Treasurer through January 2019. “We are thrilled to continue expanding the reach of our programs under the leadership of Mitch, Kevin and Stephen,” said Griffin. “Their vision for and commitment to our organization is inspiring. Musicians On Call’s significant growth in recent years is a reflection of the dedication of every member of our Board, and we could not do what we do without their support.”
