ANNOUNCING!

DUETS: Splendid Pairings of Wine and Music
April 12, 2014 | 7:30 pm | St. Cloud Country Club

Some wine tastings pair the wine with food. At the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra we do things a little differently. We pair wine with music. Join us for an evening of wine and music with appetizers, home made chocolates, a Silent Auction and a wine pull! Your hosts Mark Springer and Patrick Thorn will lead you on a tour of wine and music that will take you around the world all from your seat at the St. Cloud Country Club. Music will be provided by the talented musicians of the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra. Funds raised from this event will support Classics for Kids 2014. Classics for Kids will reaches every fourth-grade student in Central Minnesota. We will reach our 20,000th student this year!
Wine provided by the Cork and Cask and the Grande Depot.
All tickets are $75.00 | You must be 21 or older to attend.
Reserve your seat now: call 320-252-7276!
