Grand Rapids Symphony Friends

ENCORE promises to show you all in brilliant pictures: our music, our dance, our painting, our sculpture, our architecture, and our vibrant cultural venues. And, we also promise to bring you a collection of favorite recipes of our city, many of which feature local ingredients and chefs.

ENCORE was conceived and developed by the Grand Rapids Symphony Women's Committee as a fundraiser for our amazing symphony.  Our last cookbook raised nearly $60,000.  The  proceeds benefit the music education and outreach programs of the Grand Rapids Symphony

ENCORE, featured above, intersperses fabulous recipes with amazing photography and coverage of local art and cultural groups and events. This beautifully-designed, high-quality book will be equally at home among your favorite art books or cookbooks.

The retail price for ENCORE is only $30.00. In time for Christmas, the book is available for $20.00 for the first, and then $10.00 for each additional book!!

You can get your copy of ENCORE in any of our participating local retailers (listed above) or make your order online today. ENCORE makes a fabulous holiday gift. Support your Grand Rapids arts and share the joy of cooking and creativity with your friends and family!
