Saturday, June 10, 2023
All concerts take place in the First Unitarian Congregation, 30 Cleary Ave., and begin at 7:30 p.m.
Last season we were obliged to video our first concert but fortunately our last four concerts were finally “live” and our 20th anniversary was exciting and successful!! Thank you to our performers, teachers, parents and the increasing number of audience members who kept us safe by observing all Covid restrictions!
- Please mark our concert dates in your calendar so that you may continue, now more than ever, to support and nurture the young talents of the National Capital Region.
- As usual you may purchase tickets at the door by cash or cheque and from EventBrite via our website.
