Scene & Seen: Opus 40 Fall Foliage Gala 2024
Opus 40 presented its second annual Fall Foliage Gala this past October, and INSIDE+OUT was thrilled to be a part of this enchanting soiree. Hosted by Senator Michelle Hinchey, Matthew Moneypenny, Peter Saraf, Erika Greene, Alan Wanzenberg, Brigid Walsh, Rob Ross, Isabel Soffer, and John Cederquist– the evening took place at Harvey Fite’s iconic 63-acre outdoor sculpture park. The evening began with a delightful outdoor reception featuring craft cocktails, live music, and small bites–set against the glorious colors of fall. Dinner seamlessly transitioned into a tented affair with deliciously fabulous dishes from start to finish. After dinner, the magic of the evening continued as guests stepped outside to enjoy a dazzling light show that illuminated Harvey Fite’s sculptures and the surrounding landscape. Bonfires glittered warmly, and a dessert of s’mores and cider donuts capped off the night. This year’s attendees included passionate supporters, neighbors, and luminaries from the Hudson Valley.
Here is INSIDE+OUT’s Scene & Seen report on this year’s Opus 40 Fall Foliage Gala.
