The festivities begin at 7:30 pm with an elegant seated dinner in the Hobby Center’s Grand Lobby, continuing at 9:00 pm in Zilkha Hall with the Bachanalia concert, featuring celebratory cantatas J.S. Bach wrote for this special holiday season. Afterwards, join us for a folly-filled holiday gala and silent auction. All proceeds from the event will benefit Ars Lyrica Houston, making sure that the organization continues to delight local and national audiences with superlative performances of baroque music for years to come.  Our 2015 New Year’s Eve “Fire & Ice” Gala was extensively covered by local media. The event sold out, and we fully expect this year’s Gala to surpass what has gone before.
