Dick and Dayna Elliott and the staff of Maverick Southern Kitchens congratulate the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League on the opening of another wonderful season of music. Since 1993, the restaurants of Maverick Southern Kitchens offer Lowcountry cuisine, exceptional service, and hospitality in five distinctive locations: Slightly North of Broad in downtown Charleston; High Cotton Maverick Bar & Grill in downtown Charleston, the Old Village Post House in Mt. Pleasant, and High Cotton Maverick Bar & Grill in downtown Greenville, SC. At Charleston Cooks! in downtown Charleston guests learn the secrets of great Lowcountry cooking in one of many classes, and can shop for kitchen tools, gadgets, gifts and regional specialty foods in the Maverick kitchen store. Their gift of wine for the celebration is a symbol of their appreciation for the hard work and talent of everyone involved in bringing the Charleston Symphony Orchestra concerts to stage season after season.


Lexus of Charleston's sponsorship of the Gala's opening cocktail party shows their continuing committment to the Charleston Symphony Orchestra as an integral part of the cultural life in Charleston, South Carolina.
