ANNIVERSARY GALA CONCERT & FASHION MEETS THE PHIL

Anniversary Gala

Fashion Meets the Phil is an inspired program bringing together fashion and classical music. Since its debut in 2013, the Burbank Philharmonic has partnered with Woodbury University’s Fashion Design students.  This year, two students from Woodbury University were chosen to create gowns for 2018 Hennings-Fischer Young Artists Competition Grand Prize winners Alyssa Katahara, Harp Soloist, and Esther Tonea, Soprano.

 

“From the beginning, we have been committed to providing world-class music free of charge to the community,” says Maestro Kerstein. “But our outreach does not stop there. We support an array of programs, from our Musical Menagerie for young children and our annual Hennings-Fischer Young Artists’ Competition to invitations to dress rehearsals. ‘Fashion Meets the Phil’ is an extension of this tradition.”  - Maestro Kerstein

 

Come and celebrate with us an evening of music and fashion!
