Join the Valley’s own symphonic orchestra to hear romantic and familiar music including West Side Story Overture, Romeo and Juliet Overture, and the glorious Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. This would be a great concert to take children to, as the music is melodic and recognizable. There will be a pre-concert talk from our guest conductor at 6:15 p.m. It is a great way to learn more about the program. Tickets are $20/$18 and those under age 18 are free. For tickets and information visit Willamette Valley Symphony
