Board President Margaret Davis and Honorary Event Chair Al Vander Peut cordially invite you to Sedona Symphony’s Fundraising Gala 2025. The event will be held from 4:30pm to 7:00pm at Sedona Performing Arts Center, immediately following our Symphony Concert with Guest Pianist Lara Downes, who will be attending the Gala as our guest.
Note: Tickets to the Concert are not required to attend the Gala, nor vice versa, so you must purchase tickets to both events, if you wish to attend them both.
The Gala will feature light savory buffet dining courtesy of Culinary Creations by Beth, sweets to top the meal, an assortment of wines and non-alcoholic beverages, and a wonderful chance to mix and celebrate with the community of supporters who make our programs possible.
The Sedona Symphony Board of Trustees remains committed to keeping ticket prices affordable for our community at large, while also fairly compensating our musicians and guest artists for their exemplary efforts to bring our mission to life. Our Fundraising Gala is a cornerstone event in our efforts to secure charitable support for our mission.
Tickets for the Gala are $150 per person. We will clear the venue after the Concert, then readmit Gala ticket holders. Attendance is limited to 150 guests, so please order your tickets soon, as we expect a sell-out celebration. Click the button below to purchase your tickets, with our gratitude.
