Phyllis Weisbart Litoff was the co-artistic director of the Belleayre Music Festival. She was born in 1938, in New York. She graduated from the High School of Music and Art.
After attending the initial Belleayre concert, she and her husband volunteered to be the artistic directors and expand the presentation into an annual summer series. The festival became a prominent event that drew some of the best-known names in jazz, Broadway, classical and pop music.[1]
Litoff and her husband, Mel, were owners of the famed Greenwich Village jazz club Sweet Basil and founders of the Greenwich Village Jazz Festival.[2]
