Barrington Dance Ensemble's 2017 Gala Enchanted

The Barrington Dance Ensemble (BDE) invites the community to Enchanted, its 2017 Gala Fundraiser to be held Saturday, October 21, at 6:00 pm in the Eden Palais Carousel House at the estate of Jasper and Marian Sanfilippo.

The evening’s guests will be entertained by Barrington Dance Ensemble’s company dancers, who will perform the ethereal Dream Scene from Don Quixote, restaged by BDE Assistant Artistic Director Chelsea McCormick. This piece was first premiered by the company earlier this year at the Winter Festival of Dance at Prairie Center for the Arts in Schaumburg, IL. The evening will feature tours of the estate, as well as live and silent auctions, and entertainment by Barrington Music Academy & Suzuki School.

Tickets for the gala are $150 per attendee or $1,350 for a table of 10. Reservations are limited and responses are required on or before Friday, October 13, 2017. Please call BDE at 847-382-6333 to request an invitation or to make reservations.

Proceeds from this event will provide BDE scholarships and programming and provide partial funding for the 2017 BDE production of The Nutcracker, which will be presented at Barrington High School on December 1, 2, & 3, 2017. Tickets to The Nutcracker will be available through BDE’s online box office at www.BYDE.org beginning in October.
