The Invitation
One night that funds a decade of quiet work.
For fifteen years the Solenne Foundation has placed instruments in the hands of children who would otherwise never hold one. The Nuit d'Or Gala is where that work is honoured — an evening of chamber music, a curated silent auction, and a paddle-raise that carries the programme through the year ahead.
We keep the guest list intimate and the register low. There are no raffles, no urgency, and no small print — only a considered evening among patrons who believe the arts belong to everyone.
