Season-opening dinner, concert, and auction
In ballet, a pas de deux—literally “a dance for two”—is an intimate duet, a shared expression of trust, tension, and passion. At the Lakes Area Music Festival's season-opening gala, that idea expands: orchestra and audience, tradition and celebration, all moving together as one. The Festival Orchestra is joined by dancers from American Ballet Theatre to set the floor in motion with dance music spanning classical ballet to sweeping ballroom waltzes, sultry tangos, and more; each piece pulsing with the season’s theme of passion.
This unforgettable night is also the organization's largest fundraiser of the year, fueling the artistry and community that define the Lakes Area Music Festival.
