Bel Canto

The 21st edition of Bel Canto will take place on Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 4:00 pm at the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Arts Center.

The Bel Canto Gala is a once-a-year "grand opera" event in Highlands. Gifted performers are brought in to sing outstanding selections from opera to the Broadway stage. Following the concert, a splendid feast is served to the benefactors and the artists.

Proceeds from the Gala are used to purchase works of art for The Bascom's permanent collection and to enhance the music programs at the Highlands School and the Highlands Community Child Development Center.
