Ten of the Gallatin Valley’s outstanding arts and cultural organizations join together to honor former Clyde Park philanthropist Elise Donohue.

The tribute will feature The Montana Chamber Music Society, Bozeman Symphony, Montana Ballet, Intermountain Opera, The Ellen Theatre, MSU School of Music, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, Museum of the Rockies, The Dance Center, and Kaleidoscope Youth Theater. Joel Jahnke, prominent member of the local artistic scene and dear friend of Elise, will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Elise Donohue was a treasure who is missed deeply by all those whose lives she touched. The Bozeman Community, and places far beyond, benefited from her understated generosity, which in turn has created a local environment of vibrant and diverse cultural offerings.
