On Saturday, June 4, the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra will host its annual Seaside Swing fundraiser to benefit the NBSO’s educational programs and concert series. This year’s gala event is highlighted by a Parisian theme and will take place from 5:30 to 10:00 pm at the Kittansett Club in Marion.
The evening begins with cocktails – including the signature “Seaside Swizzle” cocktail – raw bar and hors d’oeuvres. Then dinner featuring an artful blend of French-inspired flavors will be served, followed by a colorful Can-Can show reminiscent of Parisian nightlife. At 8:00 pm, the NBSO “Orchestre de-Swing” will open up the dance floor. A magnificent silent auction will be on display the entire evening.

Seating is limited; tickets are available through May 20 on the NBSO website, www.nbsymphony.org, or by calling 508-999-6276. A number of support levels are available, as well as individual tickets.
