The invites you to join us for Our 2016-2017 Parties with a Purpose to benefit the South Carolina Philharmonic December 2016 through May 2017
The Symphony League is an organization of women and men deeply committed to promoting appreciation of the arts for over fifty-one years. As a benefactor of the SC Philharmonic, our contributions are raised through several events hosted by the Symphony League each year. We support the SC Philharmonic, three youth orchestras, The Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition held during the USC School of Music s Southeastern Piano Festival and the Link-Up program created by Carnegie Hall s Weill Institute to introduce children to great music. Over 10,000 children have interacted with this program. We have awarded young musicians and music educators through the Cornelia Freeman Young Musician Award and the Marjorie Stands Music Educators Award. In addition, The Symphony League entertains with receptions for donors and the SC Philharmonic Orchestra and general membership meetings in the homes of members. We invite you to join this organization in attending our great fundraisers for 2016-2017 Thank you for your past and present support! and A very special Thank You to all of our 2016-2017 friends for hosting these parties.
