Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sending duos out to perform for customers while they do their holiday shopping! Vermeer’s has been good enough to add us to their holiday fundraising campaign so you can also support the NSO. Curbside pick up and home delivery (delivery charges apply) are available for your holiday greenery orders. To order, click and select Niagara Symphony as your preferred charity. https://vermeers.ca/product-category/fundraiser/ Southbrook has put a lot of care and added security measures into bringing their tasting program indoors, including enhanced ventilation and a maximum capacity of 20-24 people per hourly session. Tasting sessions start at $15 and can be booked here. https://www.southbrook.com/Wine-Tastings We are also working with the staff at Southbrook on an exceptional experience designed by Bradley Thachuk, so stay tuned for future dates. We know many of you are missing our wonderful home at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre. It has gone by fast but our PAC is turning 5 and no better way to celebrate than with a multi-option fundraiser, with Niagara’s own Ron Sexsmith and the NSO. On Saturday, December 5th, you have the option to experience a beautiful dinner followed by in-person viewing of the show (hurry only 50 seats available for this option and selling fast) or enjoy it from the comfort of your home by digital livestream. Click to book your tickets! https://firstontariopac.ca/Online/default.asp We can’t wait to see you out in person. Whether digitally or in person we have a great suite of offerings in the coming weeks, so please enjoy all that Niagara has to offer.
