Hershey Symphony Orchestra will hold a Corks & Composers Fundraiser on Sunday, May 23, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The fundraiser will be a virtual trip to Austria, Italy, France, and the United States by way of wine and cheese pairings shared by sommelier Carrie Elliott Reese.
At each stop on the virtual journey, Hershey Symphony music director Sandra Dackow will share the musical impact that these countries' composers have made. Participants will hear musical samples by composers from each country performed by many members of the Hershey Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Eric Fung, an associate professor of music - piano performance at Lebanon Valley College and an acclaimed pianist, will play selections from Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."
Reservations are limited and may be made by visiting http://www.hersheysymphony.org and clicking on "Concerts & Events." Participants will pick up their wine and cheese boxes in Hershey on the day of the event. Instructions for pickup and a link to access the virtual event will be sent after registration. There is a fee per wine and cheese box with all proceeds benefiting the Hershey Symphony Orchestra.
