NASHVILLE HEART GALA

NASHVILLE's HEART GALA IS A BEAUTIFUL SUCCESS!

The Nashville Heart Gala is one of our city's most noteworthy charity events, and this year continued the American Heart Association's tradition of excellence with the success of the 2010 Heart Gala. The silent auction, dinner, and dancing event raises significant funds to support heart research and patient services for the American Heart Association. Gary Musick Productions has partnered with the Nashville Heart Gala staff for several years on the design, decor, and production of the event. This year, an Asian theme incorporated gorgeous linens and table decor with our huge Japanese lantern stage set pieces and dramatic lighting to create a stunning look for the event. Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center was once again the site of this year's gala. Highlights of the event included an authentic Chinese Lion Dance, several fabulous trips auctioned after dinner, and a moving testimonial from a young heart patient who received a heart transplant as a result of the work of the Association. Congratulations to the GMP producer Brandon Thomas and the Heart Gala staff and volunteers on the success of the this year's gala! Also, hats off to the staff of the Schermerhorn for their great work and cooperation - thank you to Allison Huber, Bruce Pittman, and Brian Doane especially. And thank you for allowing GMP to be part of the event again this year!

Table decor design was a collaborative effort between gala chairpersons, the Heart Gala staff, designer Amos Gott, and GMP producer Brandon Thomas.

The Craig Duncan Orchestra provided music for dinner and dancing. They were a huge hit with gala guests!
