Houston, Texas – On Dec. 6, 2017, Spec’s Charitable Foundation in partnership with the Houston Symphony is hosting the 21st Annual Vintage Virtuoso Gala; a fundraising wine, spirits, beer tasting and seated gourmet dinner at the Royal Sonesta in Houston.

This promises to be an entertaining evening with a powerful message about the progress that has been made and opportunities created by the contributions of those in attendance.

Spec’s Charitable Foundation supports the efforts of the Houston Symphony and its Education and Community programs. This year, they are continuing to raise awareness of the importance of music as an integral part of each child’s complete education and its growing need for funding.

For more than 20 years, Spec’s Charitable Foundation has rallied the beverage industry in support of this annual fundraiser, Vintage Virtuoso. Every year, Spec’s celebrates their support of the Houston Symphony and its outreach and education programs by continuing to raise awareness of the importance of music as an integral part of a child’s complete education and the growing need for the increased funding of these programs.

As public school funding for music programs has decreased, Spec’s Charitable Foundation has joined the efforts of the Houston Symphony and its programs. Spec’s Charitable Foundation Salute to Educator’s Concert was created to honor local area educators and their efforts to enrich young people’s lives through the fine arts and is the only one of its kind in the region. Vintage Virtuoso has far surpassed the $3 million mark in supporting the Houston Symphony, its outreach programs and their community engagement.
