ulf Coast Community
Foundation has awarded The
Venice Symphony a $30,000
Arts Appreciation Grant to provide
core support for its 2021-22 concert
season. This grant will help fund the
full concert season, which begins
Nov. 19 at the Venice Performing Arts
Center, and support The Symphony's
new fundraising event, Brunch with
Beethoven on Nov. 14.
"Throughout this challenging time,
Gulf Coast Community Foundation
has continued to support the arts and
The Venice Symphony," president
and CEO Christine Kasten said. "Last
season when we were unable to
perform live, Gulf Coast generously
provided funding for our free virtual
concert series, allowing us to stay
connected to our patrons and to
share the Symphony with thousands
of people around the world. Now,
as we return to the concert hall,
this grant allows The Symphony to
bring renowned guest artists to our
community and to reach more area
students with our music education
programs."
Founded in 1974, The Venice
Symphony is a 501(c)(3) professional
orchestra, offering a variety of
concerts from November through
May, special events and long-
standing music education programs
for all ages throughout the year. The
orchestra is led by music director/
conductor Troy Quinn.
