infonia’s Crescendo! Main Event was held on February 17. Dubbed “Lunch en 
Blanc,” guests entered into an elegant setting of white-inspired décor and fashion. 
This energy-infused experience celebrated the cultural and culinary arts by 
showcasing world-class vintners, expert spirit purveyors, amazing auction items, 

and a musical performance by Shades of Bublé: A Three-Man Tribute to Michael Bublé. 
This dynamic group brought all of Michael Bublé’s hits to the stage in a very high-energy 
performance. Patrons enjoyed reserved table seating, hors d’oeuvres, seated lunch, and an 
all-inclusive afternoon of incredible fun. Crescendo! is an exciting cultural extravaganza 
that benefits Sinfonia Gulf Coast and its music education and community engagement 
initiatives.

Board of Directors President Jeff Dannelly welcomed and thanked everyone for being 

a part of such a great event, and also assured his donors that their donations were going 
to a good cause benefiting music education in Okaloosa & Walton Counties. Jeff was also 
proud to announce, so far Sinfonia has helped enriched the lives of more than 125,000 
children through music education initiatives in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.
