What is the purpose of the National Arts Centre's annual Gala, or any gala for that matter? To raise money, what else? But few have scored so well artistically as this year's, which took place on Saturday evening, September 22, 2012, and featuring piano superstar Lang Lang — in a shiny black suit and a V-necked T-shirt, no less. As for the money, the take was $745,000; not a record, but far from pocket change.
