On June 6th, 2026, our musical community came together for an evening of music, dancing, and raising funds to support the artistic, educational, and community-centered programs of the Redlands Symphony. We are so grateful to our 181 attendees for rallying together to raise $228,695!
Every dollar we raise at the Gala and throughout the year supports the musicians you see on stage, the programs in schools and hospitals that bring joy and harmony into the community, the staff that makes everything run smoothly, and the innovative concerts and events that bring your friends and neighbors together to revel in a shared experience you can't get anywhere else.
A huge thank you to our Gala Committee, chaired this year by Kate Peters and Doug Simao, and our sponsors who, through their philanthropy, ensure we can maximize the impact of the auctions, Dancing with the Stars Program, and more.

We hear from patrons at each performance how music impacts their lives. Having access to this kind of healing and quality of life improver is crucial for a thriving community like ours. We shouldn't have to go to Los Angeles for an amazing cultural experience—and we don't have to. With your support now and throughout the year, the Redlands Symphony can continue to serve Redlands, Yucaipa, Calimesa, Loma Linda, Highland, Banning, Beaumont, and other communities in our region through top-notch musical experiences for every age.
