Eighteenth Annual Festival of Parties 2017-18
Welcome to the Eighteenth Annual Rochester Symphony Guild Festival of Parties! Each party is designed to delight and entertain you while proceeds benefit the Rochester Symphony Orchestra. The parties, hosted by Guild members, are unique opportunities to enjoy the best of dining, special events and music in Rochester.
The members of the Rochester Symphony Guild are indebted to all who have given so willingly of their time, talent and effort to benefit the Rochester Symphony Orchestra. The Guild meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month at the Royal Park Hotel for a luncheon/business meeting that includes interesting speakers on a variety of topics and offers members an opportunity to volunteer their talents for our fundraisers. The RSG was formed in 1978 to promote and support the artistic endeavors of the Rochester Symphony Orchestra (RSO) with fundraising projects. Guild membership is open to anyone interested in furthering these goals. For more information, please call RSG Membership Chairperson at 248-340-9215.
To those of you who patronize the Festival of Parties, we extend our gratitude and our wish for your continued interest in and support of the Rochester Symphony Orchestra.
