An Enchanting Autumn Evening of Elegance, Artistry, and Giving

 

Step into the magic of the season at our Nutcracker Gala, a captivating autumn celebration where community, music, and generosity come together in splendor. Set amidst warm fall décor and golden candlelight, guests will enjoy an evening of elegant dining, fine beverages, and live performances by extraordinarily talented musicians performing beloved holiday and classical works.

 

Dress in your finest formal attire and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of grace and gratitude, surrounded by autumnal beauty and the joyful spirit of giving. Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to bid on exclusive silent auction items and raffle prizes, with every contribution directly supporting Dance! To Your Heart’s Delight (DTYHD)—a non-profit performing arts organization that has inspired audiences for over 21 years.

 

Your participation helps fund DTYHD’s extensive community service and outreach, including:

• A world-class annual production of The Nutcracker at the beautiful Downey Theatre (December 20–21, 2025).

• A donated private performance for underserved members of our community.

• Scholarships and support for dancers facing financial challenges.

• Free community performances that bring the joy of dance and music to thousands across Orange County each year.

 

The Gala also serves as a heartfelt occasion to honor the volunteers, donors, and sponsors whose dedication makes this magic possible.

 

Join us at the splendid Chahbazian residence for an unforgettable evening that celebrates artistry, generosity, and the spirit of community.

Reserve your place by becoming a HeARTS Sponsor at the Angel level or above, or by purchasing individual or group table tickets exclusively for the Gala.

 

Together, let’s make this year’s Nutcracker Gala a shining prelude to the holiday season — a night of elegance, entertainment, and enduring impact.
