Volunteers Needed for Concert!

Volunteers are needed for the upcoming "Meet the Orchestra" concert on Sunday, November 4. Volunteers can be parents from any of the four orchestras as well as siblings/friends (at least 14 years old). It is best to avoid having Philharmonic parents volunteer for certain positions since their children will be performing. The concert is free for ages 18 & under so be sure to spread the word! Here are some details about the volunteer duties:

Sunday, November 4, 3:00 p.m. | Schlesinger
