Harris Center for the Arts Will Present THE CRYSTAL AFFAIR 15th Anniversary Concert

The Harris Center for the Arts invites the community to experience The Crystal Affair, a dazzling anniversary concert and celebration marking 15 extraordinary years of bringing world-class performing arts to the Sacramento region. This evening of music, glamour, and community spirit takes place on Saturday, August 15, 2026.

The festivities begin at 5:30 pm with a lively pre-concert sip-and-stroll party in the Harris Center lobby, featuring sparkling conversation, celebratory toasts, curated food from the restaurants of the Palladio, award-winning wineries and an elegant atmosphere. The celebration continues at 7:30 pm as the acclaimed Folsom Lake Symphony takes the stage for a spectacular concert performance of iconic film scores by John Williams honoring the Harris Center's legacy and bright future.

The concert carries special significance: the Folsom Lake Symphony was the very first ensemble to take the stage when the Harris Center opened its doors 15 years ago. Their return for this milestone anniversary closes a remarkable circle and launches the next chapter.

"The arts belong to this community – they always have,” said Center Manager Amber Shaver. “The Crystal Affair is our way of honoring 15 years of shared moments, standing ovations, and the belief that great art makes life richer for everyone. We can't wait to celebrate together."

Tickets are on sale now at www.harriscenter.net and start at $71. The Crystal Affair also supports the Harris Center's 15th Anniversary Campaign, which is raising funds for a new Stage One soundboard and lobby renovation, investments that will serve the region for the next 15 years.
