The Alabama Symphony Orchestra presents the 2012 Maestro’s Ball, hosted by Kelly and Lee Styslinger. The ball is the ASO’s largest fundraising event; proceeds support the ASO’s artistic, educational and outreach programs. This year’s event, led by ASO Resident Conductor Christopher Confessore, takes a look at composer George Gershwin’s show tunes and orchestral music. The evening begins with a champagne reception in the Stephens Center lobby at 6 p.m. with chamber music provided by members of the Alabama Symphony Youth Orchestra followed by a 7 p.m. concert in the Jemison Concert Hall. At 8 p.m., patrons will have dinner on the ASC grounds catered by Idie and Chris Hastings of Hot and Hot Fish Club with decorations by Sybil Sylvester of Wildflower Designs.
