Annual Gardens picnic to benefit Alabama Symphony Orchestra

Symphony 30 will host its annual Symphony 30 Picnic on Sunday, Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. This year’s family picnic will be held once again at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, with the proceeds benefiting the Alabama Symphony Orchestra’s education, outreach and children’s programs. 

Along with dinner provided by Jim ‘N Nicks and a symphony concert including family favorites such as Carmen’s Hoedown and excerpts from Star Trek, the picnic will include a raffle and children’s activities such as an art table where children can make their own musical instruments.

Symphony 30 is a non-profit organization comprised of approximately 100 young women who are committed to the legacy and future of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. It has raised close to $360,000 for education programs at the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.

Planning this year’s event are Symphony Picnic Chair Mary Goodrich, Symphony Picnic Co-Chair Ensley Darnall and President of Symphony 30 Caroline Reynolds.

The Annual Symphony 30 Picnic is supported by its title sponsor Brookwood Medical Center. Other local businesses sponsoring the event are Jim ‘N Nicks, Brasfield & Gorrie, Protective Life Corporation, Dunn French Foundation, Circa Marketing, Royal Cup and ServisFirst Bank.

Tickets are $25 for an individual or $75 for a family. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit symphony30.org.
