On June 16, 2012, Minnesota Orchestra patrons and supporters will enjoy "Music of the Night" at the 57th Annual Symphony Ball, an evening to celebrate the Orchestra and its commitment to accessible and enriching education activities which reach over 80,000 young people in our community every year. Crash the Ball—an event for young professionals that coincides with Symphony Ball—was introduced three years ago; each year since, the number of guests has increased, attracting more than 300 festive guests last year. The success of both these events is due largely to the generous support of in-kind donors, like you. Thank you!
