17th Annual Gala Auction, Concert, and Dinner
Celebrating the culture, dance, landscape, and music of Spain and the musicians who were inspired by that beautiful country, the 17th Annual ABS Gala Auction, Concert, and Dinner begins with an exclusive concert featuring soprano Hélène Brunet, hailed by the critics as a “singer of tremendous quality” with “a voice of perfect beauty” and “sincere expression.” Hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction—featuring travel, wine, art, concert tickets, and our much sought-after “ABS Exclusives”—are followed by a delicious dinner and live auction that will raise important funds to support American Bach Soloists.
Please note that this year's gala will begin at 5 p.m. with the concert.
