Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
Annual Gala

On Saturday, November 5, we will honor Charles Bowman and Michael Marsicano for their long-time dedication to the success of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. The extraordinary musician and North Carolina native Ms. Rhiannon Giddens singer, instrumentalist, actor, composer, speaker, author, and multiple Grammy and MacArthur "Genius" Award winner - will perform alongside Resident Conductor Christopher James Lees and the musicians of the Charlotte Symphony in a superlative evening of entertainment.

Our Gala evening includes an elegant pre-concert cocktail reception, dinner, and concert featuring Ms. Giddens and the orchestra, as well as a celebratory post-concert reception with the Port City Shakedown Band. We promise a spectacular evening of great music and a celebration of great musicians, and invite you to play a vital part.

Your support and presence will help ensure that our Gala will not only be a premier event in the local cultural community, but also a successful fundraiser for your Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. Below are the sponsorship and tickets levels for the Gala.
