Established in 2007, the "Symphony Honors" award recognizes and honors an individual or a couple whose longstanding commitment to the success and vision of the San Luis Obispo Symphony has contributed to the vitality and reputation of the organization and made a difference in our community.  In 2008, the inaugural year for the award, we honored Clifford Chapman and Don Shidler for their longstanding and generous support of the Symphony as well as arts community as a whole.  This year...

On February 28, 2009, the Symphony will honor
Dr. Pamela M. Dassenko

Reservations for the Symphony Ball are $120 per person and include a sumptuous dinner, prepared by Chef Paul Kwong, an entertaining auction and dancing till midnight.  Guests are invited to bring their own special wine for their tables and the Symphony will pay the corkage fee.
