T. Sloan Thompson Makes Generous Donation to the League of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra & Youth Programs at the Annual Spring Luncheon & Fashion Show

The League of The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra (HHSO) Annual Spring Luncheon & Fashion Show continues to be a successful fundraising event for the symphony and youth programs throughout the greater Hilton Head, South Carolina area. Through the support of key donors like T. Sloan Thompson and family of Bluffton, South Carolina, The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra will continue to have a profound impact on orchestral education in the various communities it serves.

T. Sloan Thompson’s support for the Annual Spring Luncheon & Fashion Show is a family affair. In addition to his substantial monetary donation, Christina Thompson (Mrs. T. Sloan) was a runway model in the Fashion Show for the past two years. This year their daughter, Amelia Thompson, made her modeling debut in the Fashion Show as well.

Sustaining our Symphony and Youth Orchestra is very important to our community. Musicians and orchestras are extraordinary treasures. Live performances have the ability to simply convey some of civilization's most profound ideas.

 “Sustaining our Symphony and Youth Orchestra is very important to our community. Musicians and orchestras are extraordinary treasures. Live performances have the ability to simply convey some of civilization’s most profound ideas,” said T.

The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra supports music programs in local elementary, middle and upper schools, as well as the Hilton Head Boys and Girls Club. HHSO also originated and annually hosts the Youth Concerto Competition and International Piano Competition.”

The League of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra supports and promotes the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra and the Youth Programs through volunteers, fund-raising and special events.

“The League of the Hilton Head Symphony does an outstanding job of organizing and hosting unique fundraising events from the intimate Musicales to the gala fashion show. The League of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, along with the symphony administration are to be commended for the services they provide our community,” said T. Sloan Thompson.

Bringing World-Class Music to the Lowcountry

The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1982 when a group of local residents wanted to get together and play classical music. Today, the symphony is comprised of 70 musicians under contract and world-renowned soloists appearing at many concerts.

There is a continuing emphasis on nationally known young artists as soloists for the yearly concerts, educating local children to music, musical instruments, and offering reduced tickets for concerts to youngsters accompanied by an adult.
