Cowford Chophouse partners with Jacksonville Symphony to support youth orchestras

Posted

The Cowford Chophouse has partnered with the Jacksonville Symphony to participate in a matching grant initiative of $1,500 in support of the Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestras (JSYO). 

The Cowford Chophouse will donate 15 percent of all proceeds from its specially crafted Stir Your Soul cocktail and hold various events throughout the Symphony’s 2018/19 season to reach its fundraising goal. 

JSYO are Northeast Florida’s leading developmental orchestral ensembles that teach young musicians the values of hard work, discipline and teamwork. Founded in 1993, JSYO serves more than 400 talented musicians from Northeast Florida through six levels of musical instruction and performance opportunities each school year. 

  “At Cowford, we believe that music is incredibly impactful for all community members, especially children,” Cowford Chophouse owner Jacques Klempf said. “JSYO engages young members of our community to provide them with inspiring and enriching cultural experiences. We are proud to support an organization that is such a wonderful asset to the Jacksonville First Coast.” 

  Cowford Chophouse guests are encouraged to order and enjoy the Stir Your Soul cocktail, which will be available throughout the Symphony’s 2018-19 season. Stir Your Soul is a blend of Belvedere Single Estate Rye vodka, Bauchant Orange Liqueur, Giffard Créme de Violette, lemon juice and simple syrup. 

“Music has the power to transform and provide a foundation of confidence in a young person’s life,” Symphony President and CEO Robert Massey said. “Partnering with the Cowford Chophouse to raise funds for the JYSO will help us continue to provide countless opportunities for young musicians in the Jacksonville area.” 

  As part of the partnership with the Symphony, the Cowford Chophouse will host a series of events, including a Symphony Ensemble Concert, Symphony in 60 “after party” and pop-up performances.
