Last evening, the Metropolitan Club was filled to the brim with New York society staples, music lovers and more dressed in their formal finest in honor of the Clarion Music Society's ninth annual Masked Gala.
Quite the festive fête, the seated dinner featured internationally-acclaimed opera soprano Angel Blue, and the GRAMMY-nominated Clarion Choir performing works by Puccini, Bortniansky, Dawson, Johnson, and Mozart, under the baton of Clarion's artistic director, Steven Fox.
The main celebratory moment of the evening, Clarion's Board President Christine Stonbely was presented with the Renaissance Award for her championing work in the Arts.
