Join International Chamber Artists for a sensational evening of food, music, and family!
The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with drinks and bidding on an array of delightful items in our silent auction. At 6 p.m., we’ll sit down for a family-style meal featuring authentic Italian cuisine by Chef Bruno Abate. The renowned chef, whose restaurant Follia will open soon in Lake Forest, will introduce the meal himself! Dinner will feature open seating – mix and mingle with ICA musicians!
After dessert, enjoy an unforgettable concert featuring TWO world-premiere pieces – one by ICA Composer-in-Residence James M. Stephenson, and the other by his daughter, Maddie Stephenson! And be ready to bid on some special items during our live auction!
This ticketed event is a benefit for ICA – our nonprofit's mission is to share the joy and beauty of chamber music with everyone in our community. Your support helps keep the ICA Musical Family growing!
