Christmas Gala Fundraising Event

Join us on this festive celebratory evening starting at Davidsbündler salon with some drinks and bites followed by a sparkling programme performed by ensemble ACE! (Daniel Rowland, Dana Zemtsov, Maja Bogdanovic, Nicholas Schwartz and Anna Fedorova), in-house professors Tatiana Abaieva and Borys Fedorov and a few top talents studying at the academy. The concert programme will include Schubert’s famous Trout Quintet, compositions by Piazzolla and Arensky, and in the intermission there will be an auction with some serious and some hilarious items. After the concert, we will move to the first floor for a walking dinner and will conclude the fun evening with a Yankee swap game! 

The event starts at 18:00, doors are open at 17:30. 

Fundraising Event

The profits of the ticket sales (€150 per attendee) and the auction will be transferred to the Stichting Davidsbündler Foundation for the continuation of scholarships for talented students from low-income families, as well as the organization of educational events and concerts for our students. 

Honorary Guest

If you would like to sponsor our Christmas Gala Fundraising Event 2023 by covering the expenses of the catering for 40 people, please get in touch with us: info@davidsbundleracademy.com. We estimate the total catering costs (drinks, bites and walking dinner) at €1300, and we can send you a detailed quote/overview (of course without any obligation) if you get in touch with us. If we do find someone who would like to be the evening's Honorary Guest of the Christmas Gala Fundraising Event, it is not only the 'profit' - but the entire proceeds that will go towards the Stichting Davidsbündler Foundation!
