The Symphony Ball is the Minnesota Orchestra's only annual fundraising event. Proceeds from the event benefit the Minnesota Orchestra and its remarkable array of music education programs for young people.

Since the Ball's inception in 1955, countless volunteers, extraordinary Ball Chairs and generous patrons and contributors have made the Symphony Ball a true testimony to the power of music in our lives and in the community.
