The Guild of the Jacksonville Symphony Association held its annual meeting and luncheon at San Jose Country Club. In addition to the installation of board members for the 2014-15 season, the luncheon honored the many Guild members who have volunteered countless hours to benefit the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. Symphony Guild President Allene Groote presented a “big check” in the amount of $60,000, representing the proceeds from The Guild’s fundraising events during the past season. Guild members volunteered their time for a total of 6,436 hours. The luncheon also featured solo performances by Jessye Thacker on viola and Connor Monday on French horn.
The two young musicians are members of the Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra and recipients of the Symphony Guild 2014 Performance Scholarships.
