We invite you to join us for a delightful evening of philanthropy and festive fun at the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes Afterglow fundraising dinner. This event promises an enchanting ambiance, delicious cuisine by Parkhurst Catering, and a celebration of the OSFL's double anniversary season. Come together and support the OSFL in our mission to present great music, inspiring appreciation, and music education in our community.
In addition to a scrumptious holiday buffet, enjoy live jazz music and dancing with Rich Preston's band “Found Time.” A silent auction of curated items and a live auction of the higher-end experiences will help raise money for this orchestra--a true community treasure.
Be prepared for a fun time of fundraising and auctioneering with emcee Rick Pirozzolo.
