Every year Dorf selects a music legend to pay tribute to in the annual “Music of” benefit concerts for the UJA¹s Music for Youth Foundation, a non-profit with its mission to identify, fund and lend experience to innovative programs that make quality music education available to underprivileged young people. Among the beneficiaries are the American Symphony Orchestra, the Church Street School for Music & Arts, and the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation.

Over the past years, Dorf has amassed an eclectic roster of talent to perform tunes by such musical giants as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen, who actually made a surprise appearance on his night.
