"At this moment there is critically important medical research that is being delayed purely by lack of funds," Mr. Bernstein said, adding that he decided to participate in the benefit when he heard that AIDS research was being held in abeyance because of lack of finances.
"The great artists appearing on Sunday agree with me that we are in crisis. We cannot conquer this epidemic without the same generosity and commonality of spirit."
"It's a devastating disease and everyone of us must join in the effort to end it, right away," Miss Ronstadt said.
The benefit, which is to be held Sunday at 7 P.M. at the New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater, will include Mr. Bernstein, Miss Ronstadt, Hildegard Behrens, Eileen Farrell, Marvin Hamlisch, Marilyn Horne, Bernadette Peters, Isaac Stern and Michael Tilson Thomas.
Tickets, which cost $1,000 each, include a cocktail reception, the performance and a dinner immediately afterward at the New York Academy of Art. Some tickets are still available and may be purchased by calling 581-2571.
