Sherman Symphony Orchestra Concert TOMORROW

  

I LOVE the Sherman Symphony concerts for many reasons.  First of all, they are relatively inexpensive for adults ($15 at the door) and students are FREE!  That means I can take all of my boys and they get the experience of a REAL and very talented orchestra for free!  I also love it because the music is great.  There is almost always a piece of music played that most people will recognize and then some other piece(s) that are wonderful but maybe not as well known.  The hall is beautiful and big (seating 1250-1300), but all of the seats are good.  I also love the symphony because my amazing husband is the conductor, but that's a biased reason.  The others are the important ones for you to know and reasons for you to love it too.  :)    

Due to Icemageddon, a number of scheduled events from the first week of December were forced to either be cancelled or rescheduled.  Thankfully, our own Sherman Symphony Orchestra's Christmas Pops concert was able to be rescheduled.  Although it won't quite be the same, since Christmas is "over," hopefully we will still have a good turnout. The concert will be held at the Kidd-Key Auditorium at the Municipal Building on Sunday, January 5 at 3:00 pm.  Tickets for adults are $15 and students are free.  You can purchase tickets at the door.  You can also buy tickets at their website shermansymphony.org.  The orchestra will play Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf at tomorrow's concert, in addition to many other well-known Christmas pieces - Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" and the traditional Christmas Sing-a-long are both required at the Christmas Pops!
 








Typically Christmas Pops is held at Austin College in the Sid Richardson Gym at the Mason Complex.  There are tables set up and it is very family friendly - you can bring snacks, there is a coloring contest for all ages, and it is just a wonderful way to start the season.  This year, because of the ice storm, it had to be moved to accommodate the numbers usually attending the Pops concert.  All other concerts are held in the Kidd-Key Auditorium.  There are two more concerts this season on March 1 and April 26.  I hope you will check them out!
