Since its inception, the OAE has reshaped the musical landscape with its pioneering spirit and boundless imagination. 40 years later, the Orchestra remains as forward-thinking as ever, combining artistic excellence with openness, whether in concert halls, opera houses, pubs, school halls, or at our home of five years: Acland Burghley School.
The Gala will begin at 6.30pm with a sparkling reception, followed by a three-course dinner accompanied by performances from the extraordinary musicians of the OAE, revisiting unforgettable musical moments from the past four decades. Guests will also enjoy a live auction and words from those who have played a special role in the Orchestra’s remarkable journey. Carriages will be at 10.45pm. For those travelling back to London that evening, train options will be available, and we will provide a complimentary coach service to central London; please let us know when you RSVP if you would like to reserve a space on the coach.
Tables will seat 12 guests, with two artists and/or special OAE guests joining each table of ten supporters. You may purchase single tickets for £850 each or an entire table for £7,500. All tickets include a ticket price plus a donation, on which the Orchestra can claim Gift Aid.
Please join us to celebrate this very special anniversary and help launch the OAE confidently into its next 40 years. All proceeds from the evening will directly support the OAE’s vital work as it embarks on its fifth decade.
