Rainbow City Performing Arts: Once!

• Aleksa Manila

Once upon a time there was a crafty boy named Peter, a benevolent queen with a terrible tummy ache, and a dragon who behaved like a cat! Join us for an inspired storytellers' concert filled with classic nursery rhymes and fantastical fables from Sergei Prokefiev, Mogens Andresen, and a very special arrangement by our very own Caleb Gomez! This programmatic presentation is the second installment of "Play On!", the Rainbow City Concert Band's 25th Anniversary Concert Season. 

Doors open at 6:30pm with the program commencing at 7pm at Broadway Performance Hall on Capitol Hill, the heart of Seattle's LGBTQIA+ community. You won't want to miss this magical concert experience with our special guest performer, Aleksa Manila!
