 Support Our Mission and Celebrate 30 Years of Music Help us grow, innovate, and enrich lives through music by attending the 30th Anniversary Gala on March 1. As we approach our 30th Anniversary Gala, All That Jazz, on Saturday, March 1, we want to share why this night means more than just music and celebration — it’s a chance to transform lives and inspire the future of the Gulf Coast Symphony. In a recent interview with the Cape Coral Breeze, Dr. Andrew Kurtz, our founder, Music Director, and CEO, spoke about the incredible journey we’ve had and the impact we strive to expand: “Our mission is to create community through music. We really believe we are playing the music people love to hear. We really believe we have something for everyone… Our mission is not to do concerts, but bring people together.” With your support, the funds raised from All That Jazz will help us: 🎻 Expand Educational Programs: Offer scholarships and continue Music- Works!, our daily after-school string program that provides second through seventh graders with invaluable music education. 🎵 Increase Community Impact: Present ambitious, diverse performances that bring people together across generations and backgrounds. ✨ Enrich Cultural Life: Continue creating bold new programming and meaningful experiences for over 100,000 audience members annually.  This is about more than sustaining our operations — it’s about sharing the gift of music with future generations and making Southwest Florida a vibrant hub for cultural connection. Can’t Attend? You Can Still Support Our Mission! If you’re unable to join us on March 1, we invite you to contribute to our 30th Anniversary Fund. Your donation directly supports programs that provide music education, youth scholarships, and diverse performances for the community. We also hope you’ll join us in person. If you haven’t already, there’s still time to reserve your seat for this unforgettable evening featuring performances by the Gulf Coast Jazz Collective and our High School Jazz Ensemble, along with a gourmet dinner and live auctions. Thank you for being a champion of music, community, and possibility. 239.277.1700 | GulfCoastSymphony.org |
