great music ~ close to home | 2011-2012 Season

We open our 86th Season with Overture to the Season, composed by our own composer-in-residence, Daniel Powers. Join us in September to hear Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, followed by Elgar's haunting Enigma Variations in November, our annual holiday concert in December, and Saint-Saens' Symphony No. 3 for Organ in March. We close in April with a tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes.  Great Music - Close to Home.

See you at the concerts!
David Bowden, Music Director
