The Rochester Symphony Guild invites you to an extraordinary evening of fine dining and music as we welcome back the incomparable Michigan-based jazz clarinetist, Dave Bennett, and the Dave Bennett Quartet.

Join us for this special evening of Taste & Tunes 2025, at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester, Michigan, on Saturday, November 8, beginning with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., followed by a delicious plated dinner prepared by the Great Oaks chefs. A cash bar is available. Throughout the evening, shop at the silent auction of themed baskets, tickets to various theatre and concert events, overnight stays, gift cards, and much more.

After dinner, get ready to enjoy Dave Bennett, who cites Roy Orbison, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Benny Goodman among his influences. This evening, Dave will pay tribute to legendary clarinetist Benny Goodman, bringing Goodman's classic sound and repertoire to modern audiences with authentic technique and style. Bennett performs Goodman's hits, such as "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "Moonglow," infusing them with his own fresh energy while staying true to the spirit of the Swing Era. Bennett is recognized as an authentic musical prodigy with incredible technique and a beautiful tone. He is a devoted fan of Benny Goodman and dedicates much of his career to performing and preserving Goodman's music. 

Reservations for this delightful evening, which supports the Rochester Symphony Orchestra, are $80 and will be held at the door. Call 248-340-9215 to book your reservations.
