This year’s Gala, Symphony Fair, takes inspiration from the charm of classic American state fairs and the grandeur of early 1900s World’s Fairs. Throughout the night, guests will be invited to take part in interactive fair-inspired games, earning tickets that can be exchanged for prizes at the end of the evening. Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on a variety of items and experiences through a silent auction. With entertainment, friendly competition, and plenty of surprises along the way, Symphony Fair will offer a fresh and memorable way to gather in support of the Springfield Symphony.

Support of the Springfield Symphony helps ensure that live orchestral music, education programs, and community outreach remain accessible throughout our region. Businesses that invest in the arts help create a community that is more attractive to employees, families, and visitors while contributing to the overall quality of life in the Ozarks. By sponsoring the Gala, you become an important partner in sustaining the Symphony for another 90 years and helping music continue to play a meaningful role in our community.

Experience an unforgettable evening where music, cuisine, and fine wine come together on the stage of Hammons Hall. Guests will enjoy an elegant multi-course dinner with expertly selected wine pairings accompanying each course, creating a one-of-a-kind sensory experience. Throughout the evening, a chamber ensemble of Springfield Symphony musicians, led by our Music Director and Conductor, will provide live performances that complement the intimate atmosphere. This exclusive fundraising event offers a rare opportunity to dine where the orchestra performs while directly supporting the Springfield Symphony Orchestra’s Endowment.

This event is for ages 21+ only.
