At 7pm we will walk over to the Haas Fine Arts building for the concert which starts at 7:30pm. Ren will buy your concert ticket for you. The concert is pretty lengthy but features some AMAZING music and will be probably around 2+ hours long. The concert features music by composers we've recently played such as Michael Colgrass (Old Churches) and David Maslanka (Mother Earth Fanfare, Rollo Takes A Walk, Symphony No 8 - marching band).
