Metamorphosis

2011-12 Season Overview

Greetings Fellow Music Lovers,

Metamorphosis means change. It usually refers to insects, but it can apply to music and orchestras as well.  From “meta,” we get “change” and from “morph” we get “form.” And to quote Bob Dylan, “the times they are a changin.”

Join us in celebrating our 74th season of wonderful music!
