On April 1, Tennessee Performing Arts Center hosted the TPAC Gala at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville.
The black-tie event, co-chaired by Tiffany Degrafinreid and Allison Lechleiter, kicked off with a sunset cocktail hour on Four Seasons Hotel Nashville’s fifth floor, offering spectacular views of the Cumberland River and Riverfront Park. Models Elizabeth Graham Pistole and Destinee Johnson — outfitted in exquisite gold, copper and Tiffany blue gowns designed by Matt Logan — served as living sculptures during the party, which also included a jazz set from the Wes Bailey Band. Following cocktail hour, guests enjoyed a three-course dinner plus a musical performance, produced by Matt Logan Productions.
Dr. Phil Wenk of Delta Dental, TPAC board chair, welcomed guests with his opening remarks before Piper Jones performed “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from the Broadway hit musical, Funny Girl, which will be part of TPAC’s 2023-2024 Broadway at TPAC season. Later in the evening, Piper Jones was joined by John-Mark McGaha for a medley of Tina Turner hits, another nod to the upcoming Broadway season.
The evening concluded with a moving performance of “When You Believe” by Piper Jones, John-Mark McGaha and the PARAGON musical ensemble from Nashville School of the Arts.
