We are excited that you will join us for Avaloch Farm Music Institute's first annual Fall Gala!

AFMI has planned an evening of delicious food and music, including performances by Artistic Directors Ashley Bathgate (cello) & Jessica Tong (violin). We are celebrating our team at CIBC who have generously sponsored the purchase of a Steinway Concert Grand Piano for our new concert barn! Pianomaker and restorer Rodney Regier of R.J. Regier Freeport will also be in attendance to speak about the fortepiano he made, on loan for this special performance!

There will be a silent auction which will be live from 8AM on Oct. 30th, 2023 through 8PM on Nov. 4th, 2023. Winners will be announced during dinner at the event. A list of the items can be found under the "Auction" tab above.

With the recent addition of our new concert barn and concert series, Evenings at Avaloch, AFMI is currently fundaising toward improving the barn with theatrical lighting, recording and live sound equipment, acoustic treatment that allows for flexible production of different ensembles within the space and also the ability to function as a recording space. In addition, we would need staff to assist with recording sessions and live performances (stage management, sound engineering, front of house personel). Our goal for the 2023-2024 season is $50,000.
