On Saturday, July 16 at 6:00pm, the Lexington Sinfonietta will hold its first annual summer gala benefit on the grounds of the National Heritage Museum in Lexington. A champagne reception will feature music by the Cello Chix, a Boston Globe "Critic's Pick," including classic rock and groovy-pop on electric cellos. The four-course dinner will be catered by Lexx Café, with music provided by members of the Lexington Sinfonietta. "This will be a terrific party," says Sinfonietta Board Member Fred Johnson, "a great opportunity to enjoy a summer evening with friends and great food, great wine and great music." A virtual table is available for those who are unable to attend the event. For further information on the gala, please call Liz Whitfield at 781-863-9581.
