Some concerts entertain. This one moves you.

HerStory: In Harmony is dedicated to Marie Setzer — one of the first female musicians in The Cleveland Orchestra, and mother of MMF Artistic Director Philip Setzer. It's a program born from love and from a long-overdue celebration of the women whose voices shaped classical music from within, often without recognition.

It’s movie night at Manchester Music Festival. 🎬

The snap of West Side Story. The violin from Schindler's List. The quiet heartbreak of To Kill a Mockingbird.

You already have a relationship with this music. Thursday night, you feel it live — up close in the Arkell Pavilion with clarinetist David Shifrin and some of the finest musicians in the country.

This one fills the room in every sense.
