The sixteenth annual Hearts for the Arts fund raiser is on Saturday, February 4th at 6 pm at the Barton Hills Country Club. This special evening benefits the extensive community-wide educational and artistic programs of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. The event will feature a silent auction, an elegant champagne reception, a not-to-be missed chef’s dinner, the lovely sound of music by Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra musicians led by Maestro Arie Lipsky, and a lively not-so-silent auction.

Your Hearts ticket this year will include the champagne reception, a delicious dinner, a live musical performance, and live and silent auctions. Once again Hearts for the Arts will have round tables of 8-10. Purchase tickets to Hearts for the Arts online, or call 734.994.4801 to make your reservation.
