This year, Symphony Ball celebrates fifty-four years of music, elegance, and beauty. The evening will feature an auction, dinner, music, and dancing, plus a tribute to Minnesota Orchestra Concertmaster and Honorary Chair Jorja Fleezanis. Symphony Ball has raised millions of dollars for music education by the Minnesota Orchestra. Today, more than two dozen programs serve children in their schools and at Orchestra Hall, providing excellent and innovative ways for young people to become engaged in the wonder of orchestral music. June 20, 5:30 p.m.–12 a.m., Minnesota Orchestra, Minneapolis, mnorch.com.
