The music of Haydn, Schumann, Dvorak and Ginastera will resound in Petaluma’s “Carnegie Hall” as the 11th Annual New Years’ Eve Gala concert, presented by Sky Hill Cultural Alliance and the Petaluma Museum Association, kicks off the New Year!
Each year’s “Gala Concert” has been a sensation and has become a New Year’s Eve tradition, not only for Petalumans, but also for residents of nearby towns wishing to ring in the New Year with inspired artistry and great “live” classical music.
Violin virtuoso and Sonoma native Nigel Armstrong returns this year as well as Dr. Kayleen Asbo, acclaimed musician who many are familiar with from her inspiring Musical Mondays series at the Petaluma Museum and her role as Cultural Historian to the Santa Rosa Symphony.
Other performing string players are beloved high-caliber musicians from the San Francisco Symphony: Yun Chu – violin, Shu-Yi Pai – cello, and Nancy Severance – viola, as well as Elizabeth Walter pianist – the series creator and coordinator. They have been performing at this venue since the series’ inception in 2009. This ensemble has been acclaimed for their insightful interpretation and marvelous cohesion.
Seeing the need for local high-quality classical music events, Elizabeth Walter, in conjunction with Skyhill Cultural Alliance and the Petaluma Museum Association, have provided the community with many outstanding and inspiring concerts.
Admission includes complimentary wine and cheeses; balcony guests also enjoy fine wines, champagne and chocolates.
We encourage you to get your tickets early, as this event SELLS OUT!
