Saratoga Performing Arts Center Presents The Winter Ball: Passport to Morocco
SAT., MARCH 4 at 7 pm
SARATOGA SPRINGS – Saratoga Performing Arts Center’s Junior Committee will present its popular Winter Ball on Saturday, March 4 at 7 p.m. at the Hall of Springs. The theme for this year’s fundraiser, “Passport to Morocco,” is inspired by the rich culture and mystique of Morocco, sometimes referred to as “the land of the setting sun.” Tickets to the event are available online at spac.org Proceeds raised at the event support classical and educational programming at SPAC.
Upholding its reputation as one of the Capital Region’s premier winter social events, the Ball will feature live music by Funk Evolution, a paparazzi photo booth by Heather Bohm-Tallman, craft cocktails and delectable fare by Mazzone Hospitality including several Moroccan specialties. Guests will also be able to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win several prizes including certificates for fine dining, spa services, hotel stays and more.
“SPAC’s commitment to creative, exciting experiences extends to every program and event we present,” said Elizabeth Sobol, president and CEO. “I am grateful to our dynamic Junior Committee for helping us reach that bar once again with a Winter Ball that will be their best yet. I encourage everyone to join us for this spectacular event to not only have a great time, but to help support SPAC’s extraordinary programming and impact on the community.”
“This is always a sold-out event, so we encourage everyone to get their tickets soon,” Ms. Sobol added.
“The Junior Committee is excited to host Passport to Morocco. Guests will have a wonderful time while enjoying an atmosphere that will transport them to the rich, beautiful culture of Morocco. In the midst of winter, this evening will be a fun, festive escape,” said Samantha Kercull, president of the Junior Committee. “We are grateful to our wonderful sponsors and dedicated team of volunteers for helping to plan this annual event. We look forward to bringing together supporters from around the Capital Region and beyond to celebrate SPAC while raising funds for its spectacular programming. Hop on the Moroccan Express and join us March 4th for an adventure!”
