The Symphony League

The home of Christy and Bill Gautreaux was the perfectly spectacular backdrop for the Benefactors’ Party, in anticipation of the 2024 Symphony Ball, “NOVA.” Mixing the divine visual art of their home and the melodies of a Kansas City Symphony string quartet made for a fabulous poolside affair. Barbara Haviland was the Ball chairman for The Symphony League’s September 7th gala.
