You, your family, friends, and neighbors are all invited to join us for this special afternoon of music and holiday spirit. Please note the change from our usual schedule—the concert will be held on Saturday, December 13, at 4 p.m. Admission is free, and childcare will be provided. Mark your calendars and come celebrate the beauty of the season with us.
