The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra cordially invites you to our annual A Feast of Music Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating the transformative power of music while enjoying fine dining and exquisite entertainment.

The 2026 gala promises an exceptional experience. Guests will enjoy a wine tasting accompanied by artisanal charcuterie, dancing (music provided by a local jazz band), a delightful dinner, an open bar, and special performances by chamber ensembles from the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra and the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestras.

The evening will also feature both a wine pull and a live auction offering exclusive items and experiences. Guests will also have the opportunity to support the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra's educational and outreach initiatives through a gift.

Proceeds from A Feast of Music directly support the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra’s Music For Youth education and outreach programs which currently benefit 44 schools across the Cape Fear region. Your participation strengthens our community outreach and ensures that the joy of symphonic music continues to inspire and reach thousands of children and families throughout Southeastern North Carolina.

We hope you will join us for this elegant occasion, supporting the arts and celebrating the powerful impact of music in our community.
