BSO to auction off celebrity-made masks

BANGOR — Helen of Troy may have had a face that launched a thousand ships, but what she didn’t have was dinner and a mask auction with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra. On Sunday, June 25, at the center court of the Bangor Mall, the Friends of the Symphony will hold “Face the Music,” a dinner and auction of decorative masks designed and signed by national and local celebrities. Contributors include John Travolta, John Williams, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Gwen Verdon, Caspar Weinberger, Ricky Craven, Robert Indiana, Regis Philbin and Martha Stewart. The masks are on display at the Bangor Mall.
