A Timeless Event
Walking into the Academy of Music on the fourth Saturday in January, surrounded by the original chandeliers, marble floors, and gilded interior, is like taking a step over 160 years into the past. Experience the same wonder and delight as the first guests of the building’s opening night gala in 1857. The Academy is lovingly preserved, thanks to the generosity of donors celebrating her birthday at the Anniversary Concert and Ball each year.
