WinterFest Gala
March 18, 2017
La Jolla Music Society’s WinterFest Gala at The Westgate Hotel will be chaired by June Shillman, who is excited to welcome guests to the U.S. première of Malandain Ballet Biarritz’s Beauty and the Beast, a gorgeous new interpretation of the well-known fairytale. Before the curtain rises, attendees will dine in the hotel’s Versailles Ballroom, then move on to San Diego Civic Theatre to experience choreographer Thierry Malandain’s new full-length ballet set to the music of Tchaikovsky. Following the performance, the celebration continues at the exclusive after-party, where guests can enjoy drinks and desserts in the company of the evening’s dancers. 858.459.3724, ext. 206, ljms.org
