Enjoy an evening of fine wines and fine music while helping raise money for the Moore Philharmonic Orchestra.

The orchestra will host a wine-tasting fundraiser at Elliott's on Linden Thursday, Oct. 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. Elliott's is located at 905 Linden Road in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

Tickets may be acquired from orchestra members (cash, check or credit card) or at Elliott's (cash or check only) for a $25 suggested donation that includes appetizers, wine samples and a discount on the purchase of featured wines.

Proceeds will support a scholarship fund benefitting Moore County music students and will help cover operating and general expenses for the orchestra.

Since 2005, the orchestra has served the Sandhills community supporting music appreciation and education. It provides an outlet for approximately 50 volunteer musicians to perform varied programs of orchestral literature. Members include adults and talented college, high school and middle school students.

It is a nonprofit 501c(3) organization and relies entirely on individual and business contributions to cover operating and general expenses and to support a scholarship fund benefitting Moore County music students. The orchestra is a member of the Moore County Arts Council and the Moore County Chamber of Commerce.
