NASHVILLE, Tenn. – October 31, 2024 – Nashville Ballet has announced the chairs for the 36th Annual Ballet Ball set for March 1, 2025 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center are Ana Cristina Cash and Angela Bostelman-Kaczmarek with Vicki Horne serving as honorary chair. These chairs are dedicated arts advocates who are stepping into this leadership role for the highly-anticipated gala next spring.

Nashville Ballet recently held the Ballet Ball Kickoff Party at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery earlier this month where the chairs announced that the theme of the 2025 event would be Italian Renaissance, designed by event planner Amos Gott.

The annual black tie gala raises critical funds for the mission of Nashville Ballet’s Community Engagement and Education Initiatives, providing more than 55,000 arts experiences to adults and children annually through virtual and in-person season performances and Community Engagement programming and brings dance education to youth in Middle Tennessee. 

“In 2024 alone, we will have served 16,000 school children from over 27 zip codes.” said Nick Mullikin, Artistic Director and CEO of Nashville Ballet. “The funds raised during Ballet Ball helps to continue Nashville Ballet’s artistic and educational excellence, accessible arts education to children throughout Middle Tennessee, contributing to the city’s vibrant arts and cultural landscape, allowing us to fuel their imaginations and understand that there is something bigger out there for them.”

Recognized as one of the best events by Nfocus Magazine, Ballet Ball is one of Nashville’s most-anticipated soirées of the social season. Patrons can expect an exceptional evening with spectacular décor, decadent cuisine and phenomenal performances by Nashville Ballet company artists and special guests. The Ballet Ball includes a seated dinner complemented by wine and cocktails provided by local distributor Lipman Brothers, LLC.

Tickets for Ballet Ball are by invitation only, but the general public is invited to purchase tickets to the Ballet Ball Late Party. This year’s Late Party will be chaired by Jeremy Hunziker, Sara Puryear and Ben Shankle.
