Since we had to cancel our 2020-2021 concert series due to pandemic restrictions, we are pleased to announce we are now in the process of planning a brand new concert series for the 2021-2022 concert season. The Board, through Live On Stage, is currently previewing potential performing artists who would appeal to our subscribers. More information regarding artists and concert dates will be forthcoming in the spring of 2021. A membership campaign would then be held in late spring or early summer. At the earliest, the new season would begin in the fall of 2021. Stay tuned.
We were pleased to receive a grant from the Ohio Arts Council this past spring. Those proceeds helped fund our Shades of Buble concert this past March. The Ohio Arts Council plays a vital role in sponsoring and promoting arts programs within the state.
