Maestro’s Ball supports symphony

The Alabama Symphony Orchestra (ASO) recently presented the 2014 Maestro’s Ball, hosted by Mountain Brook residents Penny and Ruffner Page, at UAB’s Alys Stephens Center. The Maestro’s Ball is the ASO’s largest fundraising event, and its proceeds support the ASO’s artistic, educational and outreach programs. 

ASO Resident Conductor Christopher Confessore led this year’s collection of familiar hits from Hollywood. The evening began with hors d’oeuvres and champagne in the ASC lobby with chamber music provided by students from the Alabama School of Fine Arts, followed by a concert in the Jemison Concert Hall. Immediately following the performance, patrons enjoyed dinner on the ASC grounds catered by Idie and Chris Hastings of Hot and Hot Fish Club with decorations by Sybil Sylvester of Wildflower Designs.

This year’s corporate committee members were chairs Terry Kellogg and Jim Priester, and Dell Brooke, Dixon Brooke, David Brown, Will Goodwyn, Miller Gorrie, Beau Grenier, Jim Hansen, Chris Harmon, Matt Lusco, Fred McCallum, Charles Perry, Jim Richardson, Steve Sanak and Raymond Watts.
