Improvisation. Expression. Rebellion.

Step back into the Jazz Age at our annual gala, featuring Grammy-nominated singer Julia Bullock and music from American musical legends such as George Gershwin and Margaret Bonds. American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald described this thrilling era as a time when “the parties were bigger, the pace faster, the buildings higher, and the morals looser.”

Our largest fundraiser of the year, this event will include pre-concert dinner packages, live auction, and opportunities to show your support for the performances, education, and outreach activities which make up our season.
