The Art of Music: Diana Ross Helps Raise Over $1 Million For Orange County Performing Arts Center
35th Annual Candlelight Concert Benefits Artistic And Educational Programs
By Tina Marie Tyler
Platform shoes, big eyelashes, and clutch in hand, I stepped inside of Segerstrom Hall at the Orange County Performing Arts Center to see a legend. What I experienced, however, was so much more than song.
Ms. Ross could not perform on just any stage. The theater had been transformed into a stunning 1970s Las Vegas showroom, complete with a scarlet red, crushed velvet drape backdrop, black magic rose topiaries atop gold pedestals adorning each table, and gold dupioni silk-skinned chandeliers that rose up in the air during Ms. Ross’s performance. A red carpet lead guests into the dramatic scene befitting a diva. Guy Genis, founder and CEO of Eventmakers, beamed as he described his creation. “We wanted to create a glamorous, glitzy environment befitting an icon and her special guests,” he explained.
