Southwest Symphony Hosts Dinner, Silent Auction

On Sunday, April 17, the Southwest Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of David L. Crane, will host a Dinner and Silent Auction Fundraiser at Aviana Banquets in Palos Hills.

The not-for-profit Southwest Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1962 and serves audiences throughout the south and southwest suburban communities. This is the main fundraiser for the 2010-2011 season. Funds raised will allow the symphony to keep bringing good classical programming to the region.

The evening will consist of cocktails (cash bar), light entertainment by SSO musicians, a Family Style dinner including bread, soup, salad, three choices of entrée, vegetable, dessert and beverage.
