The Perlman Music Program Suncoast celebrated its winter residency with a dinner fundraiser at the USF Sarasota-Manatee Campus on Jan. 5.

The Celebration Dinner — held for the first time since the pandemic — came after a concert performed by PMP students in the program's winter residency. 

Some of the string musicians then joined donors and supporters at the USF campus for an evening of recognition, which started with drinks and light bites before attendees took to their seats. 

Following the dinner and a paddle raise, founder Toby Perlman took to the stage to perform with fellow artists.
