A classical charity concert for an AIDS organization drew a distinguished lineup: sopranos Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman, conductors Kurt Masur and James Levine and violinists Midori and Pinchas Zuckerman.

Other musicians came from seven New York orchestras and the New Jersey Symphony for Sunday night's concert at Carnegie Hall.

The "Music for Life" concert raised more than $1.3 million for Gay Men's Health Crisis.

The group has provided direct, life-sustaining services to more than 4,800 men, women and children with AIDS over the last 12 years, said its executive director, Tim Sweeney.
