Tomorrow They Arrive. One Midsummer Night to Welcome Them in Style.

A Midsummer Night's Soirée — the residency's black-tie welcome gala at the Grand Lyric's Old Walnut Street atrium. An evening of dinner by Chef Shaq's Curtain Call Scratch Kitchen, and an up-close first performance by the C-Notes — including a first taste of the Family Arts Camp's “Songs of Triumph” program — before the concert crowds arrive.

Gala seating is the most limited ticket of the week. If you want the closest seat to this family, this is it.
