Not so long ago in a galaxy not so far away…
We hope everyone enjoyed our Spring 2024 concert, “Cosmic Odyssey,” as much as we did, and that you had a chance to enjoy the total eclipse on Monday, April 8. We want to again thank the wonderful volunteers at the Star Garrison of the 51st Region for being our special guests and for taking photos with our audience members, kids and adults alike. Click HERE to watch an encore of this concert.
Our Music Director and Conductor Jeremy Kondrat visited with the Star Garrison members during intermission. How nice of Obi-Wan Kenobi for offering up his “baton” to our maestro for the photo!
We shared a wonderful night of festive holiday music with our largest-ever audience on Sunday, Dec. 17. Many thanks to all who joined us, and to our guest vocalist Cassidy Scott and guest pianist Jim Wilson!
