Painted Violins

A fundraiser for the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra Tour to Germany & The Netherlands
In June 2025 sixty young musicians will perform in Berlin, Leipzig, Essen, and Amsterdam, sharing their music with local audiences and collaborating with European students. To support the tour, we’re hosting a special fundraising event, “Painted Violins” during all three Classical Series performances of The Planets (May 3, 4 & 5, 2025) at Weill Hall, Green Music Center.

Eighteen Sonoma County artists have transformed stringed instruments into unique works of art. These pieces will be displayed (six per performance) for a silent auction, with bidding taking place before the concert and during intermission. Bidding closes after intermission, and winners will be announced immediately after the concert.

Bidders must be present and prepared to pay for and take possession of the art at the end of the performance. Your winning bid is a fully tax-deductible donation.

Proceeds from the silent auction will help us reach our final fundraising goal of $100,000 for the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra’s tour of Germany & The Netherlands.
