Music of the Baroque will host its annual gala on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at the Fairmont Chicago.
Once again, the highlight of the evening will be the gala concert. We are thrilled to welcome our music director, Dame Jane Glover, who will conduct our chorus, orchestra, and featured soloists in a concert of Baroque favorites.
Enjoy champagne on arrival, the gala concert, and a cocktail reception followed by a lavish three-course meal and dancing afterward to the MixTape Band.
Black tie is encouraged (e.g. tuxedos, suit/tie, evening gowns, and cocktail dresses).
The MOB raffle features amazing prizes, including trips to different parts of the United States and catered dinner parties by Blue Plate. Raffle tickets will be on sale later this summer.
This is our only fundraising event of the season. Proceeds benefit every aspect of what we do, from our concerts to our Strong Voices arts education program in six Chicago public high schools.
If you cannot join us for the event please consider making a donation. Gifts of $1,000 or more will be acknowledged in our gala and concert program books.
If you have questions or need additional information please contact Development Director Jason Givan.
At last year’s gala, we honored two longtime friends of the ensemble were honored: acclaimed sculptor Richard Hunt and arts advocate Joan Harris.
The inaugural MUSIC OF THE BAROQUE AWARD was presented to Joan Harris in celebration of the 20th anniversary of MOB performing at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.
