The PA Sinfonia Art Auction

The Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra will host its 21st annual Art Auction on Friday, October 21, 2011 at Brookside Country Club in Macungie. This popular major fundraiser helps to support the busy concert season.

An array of original art, décor items, restaurant and entertainment certificates, jewelry, imaginative gift baskets and certificates for various services have been provided by generous artists and donors. There are one-of-a-kind pieces as well as very affordable items to suit every taste and budget.

At 7 p.m., the preview and reception begins, during which time guests may enjoy refreshments and browse the displays of all the artwork and merchandise. The Silent Auction is also open for bidding. The live auction begins at 8:00 p.m. Our dynamic auctioneer from last year, French horn player Derek Foster, will be back at the podium, keeping the tone light and entertaining throughout the bidding.

"Our Art Auction is definitely not intimidating, and certainly not just for well-to-do art collectors," explains Corliss Bachman, Executive Director of the Sinfonia. "This event is fun and affordable. We welcome everyone. This is an opportunity for regular people to own a beautiful piece of original art by someone from the community."

"When we plan the Sinfonia concerts," Bachman said, "besides presenting the highest quality music, our major focus is to produce programs that are accessible to people of all backgrounds and interests. The same is true of this auction. It will be easy to understand and enjoy."

Tickets are $40 per person. Reservations preferred by calling the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra office at 610 434-7811 or by sending an e-mail to psooboxoffice@verizon.net. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.
