Symphony in Bloom

An Annual Celebration to benefit the SLO Symphony

Saturday, May 10, 2025 before the Season Finale Concert
Performing Arts Center Plaza

The Symphony Ball you know and love is is being transformed! We’ve moved to a new location and paired our event with a concert, so you can support and experience our mission in one setting. There will still be the delicious dinner, fabulous auction items, and the chance to support your SLO Symphony.

We have an array of activities filling this unforgettable evening including:

🍸 Reception & Silent Auction on the Plaza

🍽️ Dinner & Live Auction on the Plaza

Dinner service includes salad, beverages, a selection of wine from Daou Vineyards, and your choice of entree:

  • Pan Seared Airline (Frenched) Chicken Breast, Creamy Herbed Polenta, Roasted Heirloom Baby Carrots, Scorched Tomato Demi-Glaze, Parsley Pesto Drizzle
  • King Oyster Mushroom Steak, Root Vegetable Puree, Roasted Heirloom Baby Carrots, Scorched Tomato Demi-Glaze, Parsley Pesto Drizzle (vegan)

🎶 Season Finale Concert in Harold Miossi Hall

Cellist Amit Peled returns to San Luis Obispo to perform the Elgar Cello Concerto. Also on the program are Mendelssohn’s “Overture to the Hebrides,” Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, and the world premiere of “Rise,” in honor of long-time Symphony supporter Ben McAdams, composed by Stefan Podell.
