One Night Stand Gala

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s One Night Stand Gala celebrated the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts with a performance by Berlin’s Max Raabe and Palast Orchester. Dinner, catered by The Duquesne Club, was served on the Benedum Center stage. Classic and contemporary intersected as Raabe performed originals from the 1920s and 1930s mixed with stylized covers of Britney Spears and Tom Jones. Thanks to U.S. Steel, co-chairs John and Becky Surma, and the 600 guests in attendance, a record $700,000 was raised for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Photos by Megan Wylie.
