An Orchestration

of Food, Wine and Music

9th Annual Orchestration of Food Wine and Music

October 24, 2024, 6:00-8:30 PM

Timuquana Country Club 4028 Timuquana Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32210

Get out your party shoes and get ready to celebrate another season of spectacular music with the Civic Orchestra. This year, we are pleased to announce a venue change to the beautiful Timuquana Country Club. Sip champagne and mingle with friends while enjoying the music of Civic Orchestra musicians, including a jazz ensemble on the river terrace; flute, horn and string ensembles in the banquet room; and a piano bar hosted by some of Jacksonville’s greatest talents. The evening begins and ends in the piano bar with a champagne toast and a very special performance by Civic Orchestra conductor Marguerite Richardson on violin and Scott Watkins on piano.

This year’s gala will be livestreamed from both the piano bar and the banquet room, so even if you can’t attend in person, you will not miss the celebration! We have shifted from a seated banquet to passed hors d’oeuvres and carving stations with vegetarian pasta, grilled chicken, salmon and fresh roasted vegetables to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free needs.
