RSVP SPOTLIGHT
 | Step into an evening where music and community come beautifully to life. Join us for Symphony in Bloom, a special fundraiser supporting the OSFL and the music that enriches our region year-round. Set within the National Soaring Museum—where flight is achieved through the natural movement of air—this unique setting reflects the spirit of orchestral music itself: acoustic, unamplified, and powered entirely by human artistry. Enjoy a relaxed evening filled with conversation, live music by OSFL musicians, and a shared love for the arts—complete with appetizers, wine tastings, cash bar, and raffle drawings. Admission includes one free drink and one door prize entry with additional opportunities to win exciting prizes throughout the evening—the more you play, the more you can win! Your attendance helps sustain the performances you love, nurture the next generation through our Youth Orchestra, and bring free educational programs to local children. Come raise a glass, take in a truly unique setting, and be part of what makes the music soar in the Southern Tier. Click here for full details and tickets |
