The
Women's Board of Ravinia hosted the
festival's annual Gala Benefit Evening on August
4. Plácido Domingo,
known to the world as one of the Three Tenors, Grammy
winner soprano Ana Maria Martinez and
conductor and Ravinia Festival music director James
Conlon along with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra headlined the Gala performance
which featured a mix of music theater, zarzuela selections
and opera arias by such composers as Verdi, Wagner,
Bernstein and Sorozabal.
There were approximately 1,260 guests in attendance
at the sold-out Gala dinner, and the evening, the only
performance fund-raiser benefiting America's
oldest not-for-profit music festival raised approximately
$1.7 million.
The 2007 Gala Benefit Evening was overseen by the
Women's Board committee headed by Gala chairman Jane
Casper and Gala co-chairman Caroline
Huebner, which has worked for an entire year
planning this event. Claudia Lane and Becky
Murray served as the Gala Benefactor co-chairmen
and Paul Yovovich and Lucy
Minor served as the Trustee Benefactor co-chairmen. Audrey
C. Rubinstein is the Women's Board chairman.
