The Symphony Guild in Muscatine is gearing up to open the new orchestra season of really good music with really good food and excellent company. The Symphony of the Arts, this year's version of the Symphony of Chocolate, will take place at the Muscatine Art Center, 1314 Mulberry Avenue, on September 26, starting at 6:00. It will be a casual evening, with the highlight being both a silent auction and a live auction conducted by Schroeder Auctions. People in Muscatine have been incredibly generous and wonderfully imaginative - items available include a glider ride, a visit to a chiropractor, a private Pilates session, pearls, an oversized stuffed turtle (it's a toy!), lots of gift certificates. There will be appetizers and desserts provided by Ellie's and Sweet Temptations, lots of entertainment, lots of good times. Tickets are $20.00 and are available from HyVee, Fareway, the Muscatine Art Center, and at the door. All proceeds will go to help fund Muscatine's own exceptional Symphony Orchestra, directed by Brian Dollinger.
