With guilds in Tampa, St. Petersburg and North Pinellas County, the collective membership is over 700 with annual volunteer hours in the tens of thousands.
The Florida Orchestra/North Suncoast Associates
Since 1995, The North Suncoast Associates membership organization in northern Pinellas County and Pasco County has worked to support the primary purpose of The Florida Orchestra (TFO) in audience development, education, fundraising, and other volunteer activities that meet orchestra need and membership interests.
President’s Message: Our orchestra support group of couples and singles meets three times a year in the Clearwater/Dunedin area at 6:30 pm weekdays for a social hour, a brief meeting and a musical/educational program by TFO musicians…the highlight of the evening. Members and guests meet the featured musician and his/her instrument, learn about being a part of the orchestra and hear a short musical program. We offer several friend and fundraising events annually that feature intimate musical performances as well as the opportunity to mingle with men and women who share a passion for of live classical music. We welcome persons of all ages and backgrounds. Events are posted as they are announced. All are open to the public.
