Gala Co-Chairs Jamie Bernstein, Joseph Kaiser & Jeanne Ireland, and Malcolm & Victoria Blier invite you to join us on Monday, May 11, 2026 for Hurray for Hollywood!, NYFOS’s annual Spring Gala. The evening, featuring cocktails, dinner, and performances at the intimate and elegant Racquet & Tennis Club on Park Avenue, is always a highlight of NYFOS’s season, and our favorite way to celebrate with patrons—like you— who make all our work possible.

This year’s event celebrates the glamour of songs from the silver screen, featuring music by Stephen Sondheim, The Beatles, Burt Bacharach, “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca, and more, with NYFOS’s Steven Blier as pianist and host, and jazz pianist Jason Yeager at the second piano. Don’t miss what is sure to be a night to remember!

The revenue generated by this event—our single largest fundraiser each season directly underwrites our programming and enables all the uniquely engaging concerts that are our hallmark. We are immeasurably grateful for the generous support of patrons like you, who value live performance and believe deeply in the power of song to connect us, and hope you will raise a glass with us in support of NYFOS’s 38th season on May 12!

Participate by using the links below to buy a ticket by Sunday, May 10, or to make a donation at any time. If you’d prefer to mail a contribution, please email your pledge to info@nyfos.org and we’ll send you any necessary information.
