The Celebration Continues

From the welcome reception on Grand Avenue to a stunning concert in Zipper Hall to the after party on the Colburn Plaza, our long-awaited and joyful reunion on campus was truly a night to remember. Thank you to all who joined us in person or virtually—we couldn’t have done it without your support! You can revisit the magic of the gala with our photo gallery, enjoy the Strayhorn Suite in its entirety, and watch selections from the performance in the hall. We hope you carry the exuberance of the event with you and that you continue to celebrate the power of a Colburn performing arts education with an additional gift to help ensure nights like this will happen again.
