Symphony Ball
The Amarillo Symphony Guild’s annual Symphony Ball is a perennially popular fundraiser that’s known throughout the city as the party of the year. Lavish themes, extravagant menus and boisterous entertainment make each year’s Ball an event not to be missed.
The Ball also serves as the formal presentation for Symphony Belles and Beaux.
All proceeds benefit the Amarillo Symphony and its main educational and entertaining programs, including KinderKonzerts, Concerts for Young People, String Family, Lunch & Listening, and Instrument Express.
Christmas Roundup
Christmas Roundup is a three-day holiday gift market held at the Amarillo Civic Center benefiting both the Amarillo Symphony Guild and the Amarillo Art Museum Alliance. This collaborative event began in 1980 and has become a popular holiday tradition for people in Amarillo and throughout the Panhandle. Merchants from across the south and southwest rent booths to show and sell their gift items in a festive holiday environment. Items range from Christmas decorations and clothing, to jewelry, art and antiques, to food and gift items.
Vintage Amarillo
Vintage Amarillo features a fine wine dinner and auction hosted by the Amarillo Symphony Guild. The evening opens with a wine tasting, proceeds to an elegant seated dinner and culminates with live and silent auctions of one-of-a-kind wine auction lots. Come prepared to raise your paddle and carry home bottles of exceptional wine, invitations to parties in some of Amarillo’s loveliest homes and relaxing get-away vacations. Proceeds benefit the Amarillo Symphony’s array of youth education programs.
Symphony Belles and Beaux
Belles and Beaux are high school seniors who serve as ushers for the Amarillo Symphony concert season. These young ladies and gentlemen, the sons and daughters of Guild members, attend orientation meetings and social events to prepare them for the job of greeting patrons, taking tickets, and ushering at the Symphony concerts. They also perform an annual service project and are presented at the Symphony Ball in February. The deadline for Guild nominations of Belles and Beaux is January 31st of the student’s junior year in high school. Their parents must have purchased a membership in the Symphony Guild their junior and senior years and must have purchased two season tickets to the Symphony their senior year.
