About this event
Sinfonia Gulf Coast's signature annual fundraiser, Crescendo!, returns for another spectacular weekend of cultural and culinary celebration. The event spans two evenings and supports the organization's music education programs serving students across the Gulf Coast.
The weekend opens on Friday, February 19, 2027 at 6 PM with intimate Vintner Dinners — exclusive evenings at select venues where specially curated wines are paired with locally inspired cuisine prepared by talented Gulf Coast chefs. Each dinner is an immersive experience limited to a small group of guests for an up-close evening of flavor and conversation.
The grand finale arrives on Sunday, February 21, 2027 at 3 PM at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, where the Main Event brings together cultural and culinary arts in a breathtaking ballroom setting. Guests enjoy a live symphony performance by Sinfonia Gulf Coast musicians, premium wines and spirits, a gourmet dinner, and a spirited live auction. It is among the most celebrated social events of the Emerald Coast season.
Tickets are available through Sinfonia Gulf Coast. Proceeds directly fund music education programs that connect young students with classical music.
Best for: Arts and culture enthusiasts, wine and food lovers, philanthropists, and anyone who appreciates an upscale Gulf Coast evening supporting a worthy cause
