You are invited to The Crystal Affair – the party of the year – celebrating our 15th anniversary in unforgettable style. The evening begins with an elegant pre-concert party in the lobby, featuring food and wine, followed by a thrilling performance of iconic John Williams' film scores performed by the Folsom Lake Symphony. This performance is also a tribute to our beginnings, as the Symphony was the very first group to take the stage when the Harris Center opened 15 years ago.

From sweeping cinematic favorites to timeless classics, this is a night designed to sparkle. The event will feature an elegant sip and stroll in the Harris Center Lobby and an exclusive VIP pre-party for sponsors and special ticket holders. Sponsorships are still available, offering exceptional visibility and the opportunity to support the Harris Center as we enter our next act of serving the region through the arts. Tickets to the Crystal Affair are on sale now!
