We are proud of this year’s poster, created by Urbana native Zelda Galewsky. Zelda is attending art school and we think she’s off to a brilliant start! We have extra copies of the poster, which we’ll give to the first 10 people who request them at the concert.
We will have a special guest at this concert: Joan Dixon, representing the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois, will present us with a check for a recent grant awarded to purchase music stands for our ensembles, and a new copy machine so our teachers can print their music and teaching materials. Thanks CFECI!!
Thanks also to Paul and the crew at the Iron Post for hosting this free community event!
