Horses & Harmony V

Now in its fifth edition at Stable View, this fundraising celebration highlights Aiken’s love of the arts and equestrian life as spring arrives. The program pairs accomplished riders with Maestro Scott Weiss and professional musicians from the Aiken Symphony, presenting a synchronized blend of music and movement. Tickets are available for individuals, couples, or as a full table for eight. Railside seating is $250 and includes premier placement by the rail, VIP parking, table runners, complimentary water and soda, the food service described below, and one bottle of wine for every two tickets purchased. Gallery seating is $150 with tables in the second or third row and includes a complimentary glass of wine, the same food service, and water and soda. All sections offer a thoughtfully arranged view and listening experience. Berry’s Catering, an award-winning team, will present generous heavy hors d’oeuvres on signature grazing tables. A silent auction will feature a curated selection of items and experiences, with details and mobile bidding instructions to be shared closer to the event. Seating is limited. The Friends of the Aiken Symphony, a certified non-profit organization, sponsors this event, and all proceeds support the Aiken Symphony’s mission to bring world-class music to the community.
