On May 3, 2025, New Century friends and supporters gathered for an unforgettable evening in celebration of our 2024–25 Season. The night began with Dance! with Daniel Hope at the Presidio Theatre and continued with a sunset reception and dinner at the historic Presidio Log Cabin.

The evening was a joyful celebration of chamber music and community that raised more than $280,000 in support of New Century’s musicians and performances.
Your participation helped make the night truly special and strengthened our mission to share chamber music with audiences across the Bay Area.
