Thank you Everyone!

Many thanks to all who played in the first and second performances of our 2018 summer concerts!
We had great weather and nice turnouts, and the music was beautiful. It was wonderful to hear the performances of our newest group – the Broome Street Brass Ensemble. You rocked!
At the first concert, Zara and Amber were awarded our senior scholarships – Congratulations to both of you! We wish you both the best of luck in all of your life’s endeavors!!!
Please come play with us whenever you can.
