The Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra (RSO) celebrates 60 years of marvelous music at THE ERAS GALA on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at the Ridgefield Playhouse.
This exciting, entertaining evening, six decades in the making, will include a special performance by the RSO, featuring highlights from six eras (decades) of music, unique silent and live auctions, and a pre-concert cocktail reception for orchestra seating ticket holders.
THE ERAS GALA brings the community together to celebrate an organization whose mission is to enrich the cultural lives of the citizens of Ridgefield and the broader regional area by presenting musical performances of the highest artistic quality. The event also pays tribute to the history of an organization that has been a cornerstone of Ridgefield’s arts culture for decades.
“We have been celebrating the 60th anniversary of the RSO throughout the 2024/25 season with marvelous music presented in large concerts and smaller chamber performances, but THE ERAS GALA will put an exclamation point on the year!” says RSO Executive Director Laurie Kenagy. RSO Music Director Eric Mahl says of the event, “The performance of fabulous music that has been played by the orchestra in the past is a truly meaningful way to acknowledge such a significant milestone. Sixty years and hundreds of concerts later, the RSO looks forward to continuing the tradition of excellence in programming and performance, working to innovate and inspire into the future.”
The gala event will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 7:30 PM at the Ridgefield Playhouse (80 East Ridge Road, Ridgefield).
