About Me

Music is not merely sound. It isn't just NOISE.

It's something more. It CONNECTS us. It becomes us.

Music makes us laugh, cry and dance. It reminds us of wonderful yesterdays, and gives us hope for better tomorrows.

We fall in love, mourn a loss, and CONQUER milestones, all with music.

Music DEFINES generations and gives meaning to a moment.

And when it's great, it deserves to be heard LIVE!

Join us in 2008-2009 to experience the greatest music ever written. Whether you love the classics, pops or chamber music, Music Director David Itkin has designed a series of concerts just for you!
