The Daytona Beach Symphony Society
is about to start its 65th season! Though Daytona does not have its own
symphony orchestra, the Symphony Guild and Symphony Society manage to wow,
entertain, and delight Daytona Beach residents every year with world-class
acts.
This
season will kick off on November 11 with Siberian Virtuosi – an ensemble of 11
brilliant violinists bringing you a thrilling evening. Throughout the season
you can also experience the Prague Philharmonia, The Vienna Boys’ Choir,
Bamberg Symphony, Theatro Lyrica, and much more. Every last performance
featured by the Daytona Beach Symphony Society is of outstanding and high-class
nature. Truly fabulous cultural experiences! Get your tickets here .
Thanks
to tireless efforts of the Symphony Guild, the greater Daytona Beach area can
enjoy these incredible performances every year! The Guild’s work includes
advocacy for the Symphony Society, and of course fundraising. In addition, the
membership dues make a program possible for 2,500 school children to see the
performances each year at no cost to them. Many of the 6 to 18 year-old students
are at risk, and at least 40% percent live below the poverty line. Here they
can experience top-notch musical performances, which would not be possible
without the Guild’s program.
In
May of this year, the Symphony Guild elected a new president, Gerri
Wright-Gibson, with whom the new guild season will kick off on Monday, October
3 at 10am at the St. James Episcopal Church in Ormond Beach.
Meetings
are every first Monday of the month, October through May. Being a member comes
with some terrific benefits! You get to meet and socialize with interesting and
fun people. As a guild member, you can receive a 35% discount on season tickets
to the Symphony Society performances. And you receive invitations to the
Daytona Beach Symphony Guild’s cultural excursions and outings, unique parties,
dinners, luncheons, and a newsletter. You can be on one of 13 committees! Most
importantly, you can be an advocate for Daytona Beach’s premier source of
music, dance, and performance: The Daytona Beach Symphony Society.
If
you would like to join, the annual fee is $40. You can email Joan Fenton, who
is in charge of memberships, and she will advise you how to proceed. Email Joan
