Support a Thriving Performing Arts Ecosystem
Did you know that funds raised at the Gala fuel the programs that bring music to you?
For many non-profits, a gala is not just a dinner or presentation. It is a collective appreciation shown on full display. Our annual gala is our premier fundraising event. It allows our existing programs to thrive, and gives us room to grow and support the community through the gift of music all year long.
Our Gala rivals the impact of individual ticket sales. A whole season of attendance and support is felt in one night. Will you be there to show your love of music?
