Please join us for a Benefit Gala Concert to be held on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at Mitchell Auditorium at the College of St. Scholastica.

Lyric Opera of the North kicks off a new season — and a new era — with this festive program, which features soloists Vicki Fingalson, Kate Kulas, Sarah Lawrence, Bill Bastian, Cal Metts, Jeffrey Madison and others, along with the LOON Chorus and Orchestra, all under the baton of Keith Swanson. With close to 70 musicians participating – 100% of them local artists- this is an event you do not want to miss!

The program is sure to please: plenty of favorites and lots of variety from opera and operetta. The program will run approximately 75 minutes and will conclude with a champagne reception. More than 10 local vendors have contributed treats for this event.

Funds raised at this event will support future programming, including LOON’s upcoming production of Amahl and the Night Visitors, scheduled for December 17, 18 and 19.

Tickets are $24 and are available at the Mitchell Auditorium Box Office: 723-7000.
