The Owensboro Symphony’s annual Christmas Tour of Homes will take place on Saturday, December 10, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This year’s tour will feature homes in Owensboro’s Griffith Avenue neighborhood.
The homes of Ted Bowne, Missy and Nick Burlew, Kimberly M. Jagoe and Marla and Don Moore will be featured on this year’s tour. In addition, holiday music performances will take place at the First Presbyterian Church during tour hours. All locations will be at their best with what will be some of the most creative and over-the-top decorating likely to be found in the region.
New to the tour this year is a Christmas Tree Forest! Four trees designed and donated by Studio Slant, Smith House Floral and Events, Welborn’s Floral and Events and Lynn Turner will be on display at the home of Ted Bowne. Individuals on the tour will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for $10 per tree. Four winning tickets will be drawn at the conclusion of the tour.
“Our annual Tour of Homes is a favorite Owensboro event that helps to kick-off the holiday season. People love to see the wide variety of outstanding residences that are each unique in their architectural and interior design, reflecting the varied interests and lifestyles of their owners,” said Dan Griffith, CEO of the Owensboro Symphony. “This is one of two major fundraisers that the Symphony sponsors each year and we are so appreciative of those who allow us to feature their homes.”

The Symphony Academy is located at 211 East Second Street and includes six private teaching studios and one performance hall, which is the home of the Owensboro Symphony Youth Orchestras.
