Honoring Co-Founders Donald J. Nores and Marshall A. Rutter
The mystique, fantasy and intrigue of the Moorish Empire comes to life at an enchanting black-tie Scheherazade Ball at the California Club in downtown Los Angeles. With its theme based on the 300th Anniversary of the European translation of 1001 Arabian Nights, the ball promises twists and surprises as remarkable as those in the dazzling tales told by the book’s legendary storyteller, Scheherazade. Mysterious veils, exotic delicacies, sensuous belly dancers, colorful Persian carpets, ravishing silk, and stunning sword dancers are part of the evening’s ornate tapestry, evoking the art and passion of the Orientalists.
The Chorale honors Founding Board members Donald J. Nores and Marshall A. Rutter for their extraordinary contributions to the Chorale. They are the only two founding members of the Los Angeles Master Chorale Board of Directors who have served on the Board continuously for its entire 42-year history.
Grand Sponsor Mellon Financial Corporation
