A Festival of Carols tonight featuring the Little Rock Wind Symphony

LRWSNeither Scrooge nor the Grinch can deter the Little Rock Wind Symphony.  Though some nefarious thieves stole many of their instruments earlier this week, they couldn’t stop Christmas music from coming.

To celebrate the season, the Little Rock Wind Symphony has an extravaganza of favorite Christmas carols performed the musicians and guest artists. A highlight of the concert each year is the Christmas sing-along with the LRWS!  The festivities take place at Second Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m.

The LRWS will be led by guest conductor Michael Chance.  Joining them will be Laura Eads, soprano; the Don Roberts Elementary School Choir – Sharon Burrall, director and the LRWS Brass Choir.
