On a February morning at #SothebysNewYork, phyllliskao hammered down on one of the most valuable musical instruments ever sold at auction. 

The Joachim-Ma Stradivarius, crafted in 1714 during Antonio Stradivari’s revered “Golden Period,” achieved $11.3 million—proceeds that will fund the largest named endowed scholarship at New England Conservatory, supporting generations of musicians to come. Before the sale, New England Conservatory alumna genevalauren honored the moment with a performance of Bach’s ‘Largo’.

Stay tuned for your top 3 most-liked Sotheby’s moments of the year as #SothebysWrapped🎁 continues.
