According to Maestro Porat, “In the realm of discourse with words, descriptions about true music can only allude to some of its deepest, most subtle meanings. Yet that special ethereal connection is self-evident to all who have shared in its glow. I strongly believe that every living soul can tune in and experience the spiritual magnificence born of a great performance.
“It is to that place that I plan to take you via our exciting musical voyage this season. I firmly believe that there is music in every one of us. By personal contact with the finest music, we become better, stronger and kinder. The challenges offered by the illuminating masterpieces and the almost unknown musical gems will only be matched by our delight in being part of making the music come alive for us all. Make our music-making a vital part of your vibrant life and make us a part of your extended family.”
Great reserved seats are available at $39.
