Special Events

Each season The Chorale invites our patrons to two exclusive events: the Fall Gala Benefit and the Spring Benefit. For both events, guests are provided with a seated dinner and premium seating at that evening’s performance; the Spring Benefit additionally offers an array of exclusive items in a live auction benefiting our artistic and education programs.

The Chorale offers single tickets to these events, as well as tables for ten. We welcome corporate underwriting and table sponsorships. For more information about our Special Events, please contact Melissa Froehlich at 323.424.3345 or mfroehlich@collegiatechorale.org

About the Honoree

This event will honor Norman Peck and The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation for their longtime support of The Chorale and other arts organizations in New York City. The many generous and often transformational grants awarded by Mr. Peck and the Foundation have enabled recipients to offer exceptional artistic and educational programs that have vastly enhanced the quality of life in New York City for over 25 years.

About the Performance

A popular musical theater piece, The Mikado is a comic opera in two acts by Gilbert and Sullivan that explores the exotic, macabre and humorous while satirizing British (and American) politics and institutions. Featuring a stellar cast including Kelli O’Hara, Chuck Cooper, Jason Danieley, Christopher Fitzgerald and the American Symphony Orchestra, our performance will be conducted and directed by Tony Award winner Ted Sperling.
