Dear Friends...
We invite you to join us Sunday, March 23, 2025, on The Pavilion’s Main Stage to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Pavilion Partners Wine Dinner and Auction, honoring Lisa and Fred Koetting. This event continues a tradition of The Pavilion Partners raising funds for the venue’s performing arts and education programs and The Pavilion Partners Fine Arts Scholarship Program. To date, the scholarship program has awarded over $2.4 million in fine arts scholarships which are awarded to local high school students in Montgomery and surrounding counties.
This exclusive event features a delicious 3-course dinner, and complimentary wines provided by longtime partners of The Pavilion and this year's Corporate Honorees, Fleming’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar and Flora Springs Napa Valley Family Estate. The event also includes a raffle, bid board and live auction items, and, of course, a wine pull. We are also excited for truly memorable performances from several of our Pavilion Partners fine arts scholarship recipients. See you on the stage!
Cheers and warm regards,
Sonya Nicholson and Charlie DeKanter 2025 Wine Dinner Co-Chairs

Lisa and Fred Koetting have been involved with the Pavilion since 2007, with Lisa having served and chaired on the Scholarship Committee and then again on the Wine Dinner Committee. Avid champions of the local community, The Koettings have been pivotal in the growth and development of the Scholarship Program at The Pavilion. From years of service at educational events, to frequenting the lawn during the symphony with their family, The Koettings are a testament to the dedication that it takes from our community partners to make The Pavilion’s non-profit mission a success:
“The Pavilion’s programs for the Arts and Education are, we believe, unrivaled in the world of the fine arts. These programs have the ability to reach out to children at a very young age to make them aware of the fine arts and to make that world accessible to them, no matter their circumstances. Then, these programs can follow them all through their schooling years, take them to college and bring them back with their children on a warm summer night to listen to a symphony under the stars. The impact is lifelong.”
