Join us for our spectacular Crescendo Gala! This highly-anticipated event will be held at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club and features exclusive live and silent auction items, premier performances, and a culinary experience complete with gourmet food stations prepared by the Cape's renowned five-star resort. Proceeds from the evening will benefit Cape Symphony's far-reaching artistic, education, and community engagement programs.
THE IMPACT
The evening's live auction has something for every taste and pleasure. Most importantly, every paddle raised creates opportunities for young musicians to experience the joy of learning and performing music. Here are just a few of the exclusive experiences that can be yours:
Luxury Trip to Italy
Viking Cruise
Book Club for 12 with Best-Selling Author Elin Hilderbrand
Trip to New York City for Lincoln Center Performance & Overnight Stay at St. Regis Hotel
VIP Table for Jazz Night at Wequassett
Bocce Ball & Dinner with Chef Fabio
Tickets to Red Sox/Yankees Game
…and much more!
Gala attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a round of “Fund-A-Need” with individual donations used to purchase much-needed instruments for Cape Symphony Youth Orchestra (CSYO) musicians through the Cape Symphony’s Instrument Access Program (IAP). Donations will also support the expansion of the IAP to Barnstable Intermediate School (BIS) in the 2023-24 school year; rented instruments, lessons, and CSYO tuition will be funded by IAP and provided free to participating BIS students.
“Many students on Cape Cod need access to both quality instruments and private instruction,” said Michael Albaugh, Executive Director of the Cape Symphony. “Through an aligned partnership that assists our neighboring school music programs, we are cultivating devoted, passionate, and talented young musicians in order to successfully nourish a thriving musical community among Cape and Islands youth.”
PREMIER PERFORMANCES
Guests will be entertained by award-winning Broadway talent, music from Cape Symphony Musicians, and dances by the Cape Symphony Dance Company. The evening culminates with a performance by Broadway stars Bryce Pinkham, who earned Grammy and Tony nominations for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for the original Broadway production of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, and Scarlett Strallen, a star of Broadway and London’s West End who appeared with the Cape Symphony in “Bravo Broadway” and performed multiple times for Queen Elizabeth II at Her Majesty’s request.
