Welcome to Wintertime in Sedona, a truly Magical Season!

From dawn to sunset Sedona shows her beauty unlike any other time of the year and we cordially invite you to experience this charm from our December 13 Holiday Gala to Red Rock Fantasy and more!

Join friends and fellow music lovers for Sedona’s Holiday Event of the Year, The Carnaval de Paris, our fourteenth consecutive Gala Benefit taking place Sunday, December 13 at the Hilton Sedona Resort and Spa.    We invite you to dress in costume, black-tie or as you’d most enjoy.

5:30pm doors open and guests will be treated to champagne and hors d'œuvres prepared by Hilton Resort Executive Chef Daryl Richards followed by a delicious provincial French dinner.

More than twenty businesses and friends will offer accommodating, delicious, entertaining, fun and interesting prizes for the silent auction including trips for four on the Grand Canyon Railroad, musical journeys and stays in Angel Fire, Aspen, Santa Fe and Telluride where many of your favorite CMS concert artists and ensembles will be performing. Check back next week to view the silent auction offers.

The evening will conclude with music and dancing by Le Hot Tub’a Jazz Quartet featuring violinist Allen and guitarist Maryanne Ames, tubist Bert Harclerode and drummer Steve Hemphill performing music of the Hot Swing Era.

Avoid a post Gala interview with the Yavapai Sheriff after the GALA and enjoy Hilton hospitality Sunday night at the special rate of $89 double occupancy.

Make your reservations NOW through December 5 by phone and receive two general admission tickets to ANY remaining Chamber Music Sedona concert based on availability.

If you have purchased Gala tickets and would like two tickets as offered above for friends or family, please call 204.2415.
