The slow spring start all makes sense now; it just wanted its anticipated arrival to coincide with the Spring Symphony Soirée, a biennial gala dinner for the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra that took place this past warm and sunny Saturday.
The sold-out night attracted more than 300 guests to the Fairmont Château Laurier for the $200-a-ticket event. It featured an intimate concert as well as a live auction of unique vacation prizes, dining experiences and sporting game tickets.
Among the dozen items that were to be sold off by lawyer and charity auctioneer Lawrence Greenspon were trips to the Yukon and Newfoundland, a lobster dinner for 10 catered by Pelican Fishery and Grill, dinner with Mexican Ambassador Agustin Garcia-Lopez at his official residence, a stay in Quebec City’s Château Frontenac with business class travel courtesy VIA Rail and a getaway to Lake Placid in a Mercedes Benz rental. For the fashion-forward bunch, you could bid high and often on a fur jacket from Pat Flesher Furs or a new couture dress by Sukhoo Sukhoo.

Serving as honorary chair and master of ceremonies was respected lawyer David Scott from major sponsor Borden Ladner Gervais LLP. The orchestra’s new principal guest conductor, Alain Trudel, was there (as was his predecessor, David Currie).
The OSO is a full-sized symphony orchestra founded in 1965, but with roots that date back more than 115 years. Proceeds from the soirée were to support the orchestra’s concert series at the National Arts Centre and such outreach programs as its Orchestra Mentorship Program for advanced music students and its Students at the Symphony for hundreds of local school children.

Trudel told the room how honoured he was to be chosen as the person to continue the great work Currie has been doing for the OSO. “What was very, very appealing to me was the sense of community, of course,” he told the room. “But, also, the sense of collaboration.”
A young quartet consisting of Jonathan Crombie (violin), Blythe Allers (violin), Onyou Lee (viola) and Lisa Nazarenko (cello) kicked off its short concert by playing the popular tango song Por una Cabeza, featured in Al Pacino’s 1992 film Scent of a Woman. It was, to quote Pacino, “Hoo-hah!”
