Mercury held its ninth annual gala on Friday, March 3, 2017 at 7:00 PM at Houston's magnificent Corinthian.

Mercury and gala chairs Ginny Hart and Robert Navo were joined by 250 guests at this gorgeous and historic venue for a glamourous evening in support of Mercury's accessible, innovative concerts and education programs. 

Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oevres prior to a scrumptious seated dinner prepared by Jackson & Company.  During dessert, masked Mercury musicians performed a memorable and dramatic concert of Italian music. After an exciting live auction, Mercury patron Lynn Wyatt drew the winning ticket for our beautiful Chopard raffle item.  Guests danced to DJ Mav and bid on array of silent auction items as the night drew to a close.
