Notable Moments: The evening was a celebration of the transformative power of music. Rosie’s House students stole the show with a variety of musical performances throughout the evening. The vibrant decor and lively performances contributed to the energy present during the silent and live auctions as well as the raffle, which featured offerings varying from luxury travel experiences to fine goods to decadent in-home culinary packages. The celebration didn’t stop there as the festive evening continued at an after-party in The Bee’s Knees lounge at The Camby. The dollars raised will assist the organization, one of the nation’s largest 100-percent-free music education programs, to continue its mission of eliminating barriers to high-quality music education while supporting youth as they develop their full creative and personal potential.
