We are deeply grateful to Grand Rapids State Bank for sponsoring Wild Horses with the Itasca Symphony Orchestra.

Because of their support, and the incredible enthusiasm of our community, this concert is sold out.

Partnerships like this make it possible for IOSP to bring large-scale collaborations to life and to continue investing in our students, musicians, and community programming.

Thank you to Grand Rapids State Bank for standing with the Itasca Orchestra & Strings Program, and thank you to our community for filling the hall.

We look forward to an unforgettable night at The Reif.
