Music & Wine Fundraiser 2023
Saturday, September 23rd

Thank you all for attending!

Are you ready for an unforgettable evening that will indulge all your senses while raising critical funds for our beloved symphony? There will be selections of your favorite music chosen by Maestro Klein performed live by PSO musicians uniquely paired with exceptional wines curated by our sommelier and Master of Wine Susan Lin for a truly evocative and participatory experience. A variety of artisanal delights for the palate, both savory and sweet, plus non-alcoholic drinks round out the offerings.

Funds generated by the event will support our post-pandemic outreach efforts including our expanding free community concert series, the revived launch of our in-school outreach programs, and a robust effort to expand access to free tickets for all local students.

If you'd like to support this event regardless of (or in addition to) your ability to attend, we sincerely appreciate donations to reach our fundraising goals. You may do so online at https://peninsulasymphony.org/donate
