Our new Artistic Director has programmed a series of pieces that will appeal to the whole family!
Performances Dec. 2 & 3 at 2pm.
Please note: Both concerts will start at an earlier, more family-friendly time of 2pm, with a pre-concert instrument "petting zoo" in the lobby beginning at 1:15pm to give kids an opportunity to see up close and try out some of the instruments found in an orchestra. (Please also remember that children and youth through the age of 17 are always admitted free to our concerts.) Instrument demonstrations interspersed throughout the program.
