Bay Philharmonic Gala: A Prelude to Tomorrow

We are ready to celebrate our 60th Anniversary of musical excellence and the 10th Anniversary of our Bay Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at our Annual Gala, featuring inspiring performances by our Youth Orchestra.

Expect vibrant orchestral showcases that demonstrate the discipline, creativity, and joy our young musicians bring to the stage, while you experience firsthand how our programs cultivate a lifelong passion for music.

Enjoy an evening of exceptional music-making, community fellowship, and an exciting auction whose proceeds directly support the training, instruments, and opportunities that sustain the next generation of artists. Join us for a night where music and community converge—your presence helps inspire and ensure a thriving cultural future for Bay Area youth and musicians.

Flavors of the evening strikes the right note

Enjoy an elegant cocktail hour with carefully selected hors d’oeuvres, followed by a plated gourmet meal offering your choice of Chicken Florentine, New York Strip Steak, or a chef-curated Vegetarian or Vegan entrée; each main is prepared with seasonal ingredients and thoughtful presentation.

Included with your dinner will be a scrumptious dessert and selected award-winning wines.
