The Monterey Symphony invites the community to an unforgettable evening of music, celebration, and generosity at its 80th Anniversary Black Tie Gala. Guests will enjoy a full big band featuring Symphony musicians, dancing, delicious food, and craft libations—all in honor of eight decades of extraordinary music.

Those who attended the Symphony’s 75th celebration know this is an event not to be missed! The gala is hosted only once every five years, and this milestone year promises to be the most spectacular yet.

Attendees are encouraged to become benefactors, helping sustain and grow the Symphony’s mission. Contributions directly support commissioning new works, engaging world-class artists, and providing access to music education for thousands of local students.

Bring your dancing shoes and join in this vibrant celebration of community, artistry, and the joy of music—because this is one gala you won’t want to miss!
