Step into an evening of timeless glamour and cinematic intrigue at A Night in Noir, the Great Lakes Center for the Arts' 2026 Gala.
Your night begins with an exclusive Sponsor Dinner where you will check in to the iconic atmosphere of the Beverly Hills Hotel--lush palms, signature stripes, and sunset-soft elegance that defined Hollywood's Golden Era. As the evening continues, guests take their seats for an intimate concert featuring the illustrius composer David Foster alongside acclaimed vocalist and Broadway star Katharine McPhee. Following the performance, the night carries on at an Afterparty with late-night bites, signature cocktails, and the lingering glow of a celebration that feels straight out of a silver-screen dream.
This annual fundraiser benefits the mission of the Great Lakes Center for the Arts to inspire, entertain, educate, and serve all in Northern Michigan year-round by presenting exceptional experiences across the full spectrum of the performing arts and offering impactful educational opportunities.
