SPECIAL EVENTS
EXPERIENCE NEW CENTURY BEYOND THE CONCERT HALL
Throughout the season, New Century Chamber Orchestra brings supporters, artists, and community members together through special events—from intimate salons to our annual gala—that celebrate music, conversation, and artistic connection while supporting our artistic and community mission throughout the Bay Area.
ANNUAL GALA
A celebration of music, community, and artistic excellence.
New Century’s annual gala is the organization’s most significant fundraising event of the season, bringing together supporters, musicians, and civic leaders for an unforgettable evening honoring a transformative leader while benefiting the orchestra’s artistic, educational, and community programs.
Our next Gala will take place on April 17, 2027 at the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco. Tables and tickets will become available beginning Fall 2026.
ANNUAL ARTIST SALON
An intimate evening of music and conversation.
Hosted by a generous Board Member, the Artist Salon offers a unique opportunity to experience New Century musicians and guest artists in an intimate setting alongside fellow supporters of the arts.
This event includes catered hors d'oeuvres and special performances by guest artists and Music Director Daniel Hope.
HOUSE RECEPTIONS
Celebrating the New Century community.
Throughout the season, New Century hosts intimate house receptions that bring together donors, musicians, Board Members, and audience supporters for evenings of conversation, light bites, drinks, and special performances by New Century musicians.
DONOR LOUNGES
Gatherings that offer supporters an opportunity to connect with fellow patrons, musicians, and the New Century community.
