Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s 23rd Annual Symphony Lovers’ Ball
Vancouver Convention Centre West
February 21, 2013

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra was front and centre for everyone’s enjoyment at its 23rd annual Symphony Lovers’ Ball. Guests indulged in fine wine and cuisine while dancing the night away to beautiful music performed by the VSO—a truly remarkable and unique experience.

The black-tie event began with a Domaine Chandon wine reception and silent auction, along with a Lugaro Jewellers raffle item of a ladies Rolex watch. Guests were then treated to a mini concert, gourmet dinner, live auction and dancing to the sweet sounds of the VSO.

The evening provided invaluable support for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, raising over $750,000 in support of its music education programs. The Symphony Lovers’ Ball committee is a dedicated group of volunteers who works extremely hard to present this special evening.
