CSO celebrated its annual Gala Dinner Concert & Auction on January 24, 2009 at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront. Over 200 guests attended the event and raised over $50,000 for the Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra.
Attendees were especially enthralled with violinist Brandon Garbot's magnificent performances in Massenet's "Meditation" and Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy.
Thank you to our Auctioneer Tom Fletcher, Director of Sponsorship with the Portland Trailblazers (pictured below with CSO Executive Director Betsy Hatton), all the Auction Donors, the hard-working CSO Board Members, and generous Patrons for a successful evening of beautiful music and fundraising.
