6th Annual Savor the Symphony Sells Out
Savor the Symphony drew 300 women from across the Valley to Symphony Hall on Jan. 19 to support The Phoenix Symphony’s Education and Wellness programs. The sixth annual event offered a sneak peek of the Canadian vocal group The Tenors as they rehearsed for the weekend’s performances with the symphony. Guests enjoyed pomegranate Champagne cocktails while the group performed a blend of classical music and contemporary pop.
During the social hour, attendees had the opportunity to purchase mystery boxes and raffle tickets. A luncheon prepared by Chef Gio Osso of Virtu and Nico followed. The live auction featured a private dinner for 10 with Chef Osso, a two-day high performance driving course at Bondurant Racing School and a two-night stay for 10 at Mountain Shadows Resort.
Sue Glawe, vice president of community relations, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, served as the honorary chair of the event. Deborah Bateman, vice chairman of the National Bank of Arizona Board of Directors, and Molly Stockley, hospital growth and vice president, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, co-chaired the luncheon.
The Phoenix Symphony is celebrating its 70th anniversary season.
