Volunteer to support The Florida Orchestra with
one of our volunteer guilds.
In the Tampa Bay area, The Florida Orchestra has four volunteer guilds that host a variety of educational, social, musical and fundraising events throughout the season to raise both awareness of and funds for the orchestra. With two guilds in Tampa, one in St. Petersburg and one in North Pinellas County, the collective membership is over 700 with annual volunteer hours in the tens of thousands.
The Florida Orchestra/North Suncoast Associates
North Suncoast Associates supports The Florida Orchestra in fundraising, audience development, education, and other volunteer activities.
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 for a social hour, a short meeting and a musical/educational program by TFO musicians, which is the highlight of the evening. Attendees meet the musician, hear about the experiences of being a part of the orchestra, learn about the respective instrument, and listen to a short musical program.
- Johanna Guzik, President
North Suncoast Associates has other fundraising programs that highlight musical performances as well as the opportunity to meet with men and women who share a love of live classical music. Events will be posted as they are announced.
