High Desert Chamber Music (HDCM) announces their 18th Annual Gala will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Friday, December 5, at 5:30pm. This event will include a Cocktail Hour, Silent Auction, performance featuring the Spotlight Chamber Players, Dinner, and Dessert Dash. Central Oregon Daily anchor Genevieve Reaume returns as this year’s Master of Ceremonies.

“Our Annual Gala is essential to sustaining HDCM’s Educational Programs,” notes Executive Director Isabelle Senger. “This year’s event will highlight performances by our two new Spotlight Chamber Player ensembles, and the support we receive through this event ensures that we can continue offering all of our Educational Outreach programs at no cost to students, families, and schools throughout Central Oregon.”
