Dearest Music-Loving Reader,
It has come to this author’s most delighted attention that the social engagement of the season is soon upon us…
The Diamond Regency Ball Fundraiser
October 11, 2025
Presented by the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra
A most elegant affair is to be hosted in celebration of the Symphony’s Diamond Anniversary—a glittering 75 years of music, community, and passion. On this most anticipated evening, all eyes shall turn to the presentation of this season’s Diamond candidates, culminating in the crowning of the Diamond of the Season. The chosen individual shall open the dance floor with the Symphony’s most honorable guest, Sir Matthew Aubin, esteemed conductor and celebrated figure of the evening.
Whispers of romance will mingle with melodies as guests enjoy live symphonic serenades, high-spirited bidding during our grand auction, and the chance to mingle with Southwest Michigan’s finest—and perhaps uncover a secret or two.
Guests are most heartily encouraged to arrive in Regency-era attire, though modern interpretations worthy of the ton are equally welcome.
Debutante & VIP Invitations are now available.
General Admission opens July 3.
But be swift—only the most poised and punctual shall secure a place!
