Bacchanalia XVI

The Mid-Columbia Mastersingers and Mid-Columbia Symphony are proud to present an inaugural joint performing arts fundraiser: BACCHANALIA XVI!

We'll be throwing the fundraising bash of the year in the great tradition of Greco-Roman Bacchanals: ancient festivals that celebrate the beauty in the world around us, notably through good food, good drink, and good music.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Themed food in the form of hors d'oeuvres and carving stations that are open throughout the night, so you eat as much as you want when you want

Libations with cash bar offerings and plenty of wine available for you to pour yourself at your table

Online and live auction items that open February 1 for early bidding

Live DJ and dancing towards the end of the night when the Bacchanal is in full swing

A variety of activities and games, including an Aura Reader, a Tarot Card Reader, a Caricature artist, and a crossbow that fires wine corks

FEATURED LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
A performance of P.D.Q. Bach's comic oratorio "Oedipus Tex," starring:

Jeremy Irland as the title character, Oedipus Tex
Paris Rodgers as his mother/wife, Billie Jo Casta
Erin Patterson as Madam Peep the Oracle
Karl Hedlund as the Narrator
Nicholas Wallin as the Conductor
