This year’s Black & White Ball carries a special significance as we gather not only to support the Lansing Symphony Orchestra but also to honor and celebrate Maestro Timothy Muffitt’s remarkable 20-year tenure as Music Director. We are thrilled to invite you to join us for this unforgettable evening on Saturday, May 16, 2026, on stage at the Wharton Center for Performing Arts at 6:00 PM.
The 2026 Black & White Ball promises to be an elegant and memorable night—complete with live music by your LSO musicians, delicious cuisine, and a community gathered in honor of Maestro Muffitt’s extraordinary leadership as we celebrate the LSO’s 96th Season.
