Symphonic Tastings
Join musicians from the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra for an easygoing, interactive series that uncovers the secrets of the orchestra and connects classical music to the music you already know and love.
The second session, Symphony & Rock, turns up the volume on the connection between classical music and rock & roll, exploring how orchestral instruments, techniques, and sounds have helped shape the music we know and love.
🎻 Each one-hour session includes:
Beer & cheese tasting
A chance to try real orchestral instruments
A Fox Valley Symphony ticket giveaway
Discounted symphony tickets available for purchase
Plenty of music, conversation, and absolutely no classical-music expertise required
🍺🧀 Beer & Cheese Tasting
The first 10 attendees will receive a voucher for a tasting.
$6 per tasting cup, which includes:
A half-serving of beer (na options will also be available)
A selection of local cheeses
Come curious. Have a drink. Pick up an instrument. And discover just how much of the symphony you already know.
