We are featuring two outstanding high school musicians Natalie Flake on violin and Bradly Button on cello on our 40th annual Spring Concert. I take great pleasure featuring young talented musicians on our programs year after year. Other selections include something new, something old, but always exciting. They all are my favorites.
