Musicale Sunday pg. 6

Note from the President... Happy New Year! The Fall was an extraordinary time in the

life of the Guild and we are thrilled to continue our many pro-

jects and activities as we head into a new year with new possi-

bilities!

I hope many of you were able to attend the November concert

of the GSYO. Held at Greensboro Day School, these young

students of music did an incredible job and we were so pleased

to hear the new groups which have been developed this year. If

you missed this concert, please be sure to mark your calendars

for February 21 and the Winter Concert.

I am so pleased to report that our first Musicale Sunday was

held at the beautiful home of Pam and Dennis Stearns on

Sunday, December 6, from 4:00 – 6:00, and was a rousing success! More than 80 Guild

members gathered for a wonderful afternoon of great music by the Giannini Brass, and

delectable food and wine brought to us by Maria’s Catering. Many thanks to Brenda

Glenn, Mitzie Weatherly and Gayle Koonce for chairing this great event. We will

have another opportunity to gather for the second Musicale Sunday at the home of

Mila Weavil on April 3. Be sure to join us for another great couples/singles event!

Our first Holiday Tea was held at the beautiful home of Suzy Walker on Decem-

ber 9. We were treated to another event of great food and fun tea tastings by Vida Pour

Tea as well as a wonderful fashion show produced by Contemporary Lady. Chair,

Peggy Lowe, and her committee of Mary Ingram and Pam Pegram were responsible

for a lovely afternoon for Guild members.

Many thanks to Patrice Newman and Mary Ellen Burke for organizing food for

our orchestra members during the Fox 8/Old Dominion Holiday Concert in Greensbo-

ro. Many members graciously donated salads and assorted desserts to accompany our

main dish for the GSO’s dinner. The Orchestra was extremely grateful!

The Symphony Guild Presentation Ball was held on December 28 celebrating a

year of activities for our 24 beautiful and talented debutantes. Beverly Wright, Chair,

and Suellen Milton, Honorary Chair, did an amazing job coordinating the year’s

activities and we are so pleased with the large number of Guild members who attended

the Ball. It was an incredible evening!

Many thanks to our good friend and sponsor, Carriage House Antiques and Home

Décor for hosting our January Guild Gals Night Out! This is always a fun event for the

Guild and the evening was full of excitement as we entered the New Year!

We are grateful to Kristie Smith for hosting our January General Membership

Meeting. It was a great gathering superbly coordinated by Hospitality Chairs,

Joan Stevenson, Rhonda Barrett and Ronda Szymanski. Once again, our Program

Chair, Dorry Tooke, provided us with a great program. Thanks to all!

Watch for our February events coming up and be sure these upcoming dates are on

your schedules:

February 15 – New members Couples Social at Gia’s

February 17 – General Luncheon meeting at Starmount Country Club

And continue to save all those goodies for this year’s Super Sale on April 23! We

will be happy to pick up any donations. Call Nancy Beaver, Elizabeth Craft, Karen

Hundgen or Vanessa Skenes.

I look forward to seeing each of you as our Guild year continues!

The Guild supported Elementary Schools concerts are just around the corner – Monday,

March 14 – Thursday, March 17. Due to the smaller venue (Grimsley High School) the

concerts will span four mornings and we really need your help. This is an easy site at which

to volunteer. The parking is easy and students enter through fewer doors. The result is an

efficient process and very manageable volunteer experience. The time commitment is from

8:45 am to noon. Please check your calendars and plan to give at least one morning. Our

thanks in advance: Suzy Walker, 336-337-3056, [email protected]; Dianne

Pusch, Kathy Joyce and Pam Pegram.

Elementary Concerts need you!

MUSIC AT MIDDAY— Partially funded ($600) by the Symphony

Guild. The Music at Midday Series includes performances with small

ensembles by Greensboro Symphony musicians throughout the community.

The performances, which are hosted by retirement communities and other

local venues are free and open to the public. A list of performances will be

provided to Guild members at a later date.

This program was begun with the intent to give back and reach our adult community,

many of which are no longer able to attend a full season symphony performance. We are

pleased the Guild is able to partially fund the support of such a wonderful program. Please

consider attending one of these performances for an up close program with select GSO

musicians, and see the delight they bring to our adult communities.

PRELUDES—Partially funded ($400) by the Symphony Guild—Preludes are the

Greensboro Symphony’s pre-concert presentations. Distinguished professors from around

the region provide information and background on the concert repertoire. These talks help to

enrich your experience with added knowledge of what inspired the composer or where this

piece of music was first performed, and so forth. You may hear the music in a whole new

way after attending these talks!

from shopping and holiday preparations and just enjoy being with friends. Guests were treated to

delicious food, tea tastings by Vida Pour Tea and a fashion show by Contemporary Lady. Above

(l-r) are Suzy, Mary Ingram, Sarah Chapman (owner of Vida Pour Tea), Pam Pegram, Peggy

Lowe and Andrea Knupp. These Guild members planned and coordinated the Holiday Tea.

Kim Jones was happy to see two of the

Guild’s new members when she arrived at a

December performance of Greensboro Ballet’s

Nutcracker. One of the new members, Leslie

Meadows, was there as the proud mom of a

young ballerina who was performing in the show.

The other, Laura Smith, was there as winner of

the Nutcracker walk-on experience that she won

last October at the Guild’s Big Band, Bourbon and

Blandwood silent auction.

Turns out, Laura ended up with much more

than a walk-on part. She is an RN by profession

and has a background in dance. When the show’s

director, Maryhelen Mayfield, met her, she

immediately wanted Laura in all the shows. Laura

was in costume when she paused for this photo

with Kim.

Laura Smith wins more than expected at Silent Auction

Dear Guild Members,

It has been a pleasure serving as the 2015

Symphony Presentation Ball Chair. It was an honor

to be asked to chair this traditional event. I was

thrilled to be chosen to work with this year’s

Debutantes and their families and have enjoyed

getting to know each of them over the course of the

year. I have been blessed to work with the

outstanding Guild members who formed this year’s

fabulous Presentation Ball Committee. Without their

effort, it would not have been possible to produce the

many events honoring the Debutantes throughout the

year, and the delightful and enchanting Presentation

Ceremony and Ball. The families were honored to

have been included; they were very appreciative of

the efforts of the Committee and the recognition of

the Guild. The Symphony Debutantes are chosen, not

only to represent the Greensboro Symphony, but also

to be ambassadors for the arts throughout the year. It

is my hope that they will continue to be ambassadors

for the arts throughout their lives.

With Warmest Regards,

Beverly Wright

38th Anniversary Symphony Presentation Ball The Sheraton Four Seasons Imperial Ballroom was the setting for the 38th Anniversary Symphony Presentation Ball on

December 28. Twenty-four beautiful young women, ambassadors of our symphony orchestra during their debutante season, took

their traditional bow to Suellen Milton, our 2015 Honorary Chair.

Volunteers worked tirelessly to create a set featuring lovely column and drape designs sprinkled with holiday trees. Clusters of

poinsettias, in our signature peach color, accented and dotted the set and ballroom. This beautiful setting was the backdrop as the

Debutantes were presented to more than 360 family, friends, and Guild members. Mr. Robert Green served as Master of Ceremonies,

and the musicians from the GSO and Youth Orchestra provided ensemble music during the cocktail hour and Presentation. The

evening was capped off with dinner and dancing to the music of the U.B.U. Band.

The Selection Committee of the 2016 Ball will soon be extending invitations to young ladies who are currently college

freshmen. If you wish to recommend a potential 2016 Debutante, please contact Laura Green at 336-210-5588

Rave reviews—that’s what

we’re hearing about the Guild’s

first Musicale Sunday held in

December at the home of Pam

and Dennis Stearns.

Holiday music and décor set a

festive mood for the afternoon.

The music, provided by

Giannini Brass, included carols

from around the world and

famous jazz holiday standards.

Unusually warm weather

allowed guests to enjoy the

Stearns’ patio and picturesque

view of Lake Jeanette as shown

in the middle photo. Pam and

Dennis are shown with horn

player, Joe Mount, in the lower

photo.

If you missed this event, don’t

fret, another Musicale Sunday

is being planned for April 3rd

Be sure to mark the date on

your calendar and watch for

details.

Tips from the Guild’s Website guru Peggy Hamilton—

Having the Guild Shop Page is one of the most useful and beneficial

tools we have on our website. Tired of writing checks, addressing an

envelope, paying for stamps, and actually getting your check to the mail-

box? Use the Shop Page instead.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say you are paying for an upcoming luncheon. Just get to

the Shop Page, choose what you want to eat, and press “Add to Cart.” When you decide to

“check out,” you’ll be taken to Paypal, which is quite secure, and you make your payment

there. We have to pay for this service, which is why there is a small fee associated with it.

All of our Guild members who utilize it say it is so easy to do, and there is no worry associ-

ated with it. If you don’t already have a PayPal account, it is very easy to set up by visiting

their site.

On our Shop Page, you can also pay your annual dues, pay for any and all upcoming

events and make donations. We also sell our Guild stationery through the Shop Page.

If you haven’t tried it – think about it the next time you are about to write that check!

We’ll see you on the web!!

GSOGUILD.ORG’s got it all

Presentation available The Guild’s Community Rela-

tions Co-Chairs have a revised

Speakers Bureau presentation, outlin-

ing the history and accomplishments

of the Greensboro Symphony Guild.

If you have suggestions for presentat-

ion opportunities or would like to pre

-view the production, contact: Josie

Gibboney 336-272-2438 or Andrea

Alemanni 336-580-5447.

As the year begins and we take stock of what we need to

make us happy, it’s hard to see through the clutter of life. My

desk alone has lumpy pots made by my children with

unsharpened pencils, a lovely silver pen, a nice magnifying

glass that doesn’t magnify enough, but has a beautiful bone

handle. Is my life now enriched by these things that were

collected, but not really needed?

We hold on because we spent a lot (too much) or our

mother had it on her desk. Both hold us in different ways, it

will feel good, very, very good to let someone

else enjoy, and it will feel amazing to have the Symphony Guild profit by

letting go.

To that end we have a “Buy It Now Deal” for February. A handmade,

country chest with dovetail drawers and sweet porcelain pulls. It will add

texture, depth to a mountain home or will become a charming piece in your

grown child’s first home. This could be yours, delivered tomorrow for $100.

Just contact me: Nancy Beaver at [email protected], or
