A Crooner Era Gala Benefitting the Panama City Symphony

Transport yourself to the golden age of the New York supper club. This year, Bella Notte takes you to the heart of the Big Apple for Midnight in Manhattan—an evening of timeless style, rhythmic sophistication, and the smooth, nostalgic sounds of the Crooner Era. Expect an evening draped in the elegance of mid-century Manhattan—where the jazz is hot, the drinks are cold, and the glamour is unmatched. This year’s gala is elevated by the incredible homecoming of DiDi Stone, our 2024 High School Division Emerging Artists Competition winner, who returns to our stage following an extraordinary year touring throughout China. DiDi has been captivating international audiences with his rare dual-talent, performing as both a featured vocalist and violinist. Didi will lead a musical journey through the smoky, melodic soul of the 1940s and 50s. His journey of advanced musical studies will continue this fall at the prestigious Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Your attendance and contributions during our silent auction ensure that Panama City Symphony continues to bring world-class artistry to our home shores. 

Attire: Embrace the allure of 1950s Manhattan. Formal attire with a classic vintage flair is encouraged as we celebrate the golden age of the American Crooner.
