NEBT Artistic Director, Karen Pilkington-Miksa, (far right in the photo left by Patrick Baldwin) said, "We are enormously grateful for the incredible generosity of NEBT's friends and patrons who have contributed so many exciting items and experiences for the Silent Auction. We're aiming to raise £10,000 towards the cost of our next season and I'm delighted to say we're already more than halfway there. The funds will go straight towards planning work for 2017 and starting the process of auditions and rehearsals a little earlier than usual!"

NEBT have just performed at the Sadler's Wells Peacock Theatre in London with their programme Quint-essential: Five New Ballets, to critical acclaim and sellout houses. NEBT's 2017 season will include summer festivals and another West End season. The auction closes on November 30th.
