Congratulations to the Sky Valley Philharmonic for their second AMAZING concert this past Sunday at the Wagner Performing Arts Center: Awakening.

The crowd was wowed by the beautiful wall of sound that came from the Wagner stage. The Philharmonic musicians expertly wove through delicate classics like Morning Mood, and thundered through the dynamics of The Moldau, to another standing ovation from a grateful audience.

We're so proud of this group of talented musicians, and the many volunteers who helped to make this performance (and every performance at the Wagner) successful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

And a special thank you to all of YOU, Monroe, for showing up and supporting local artists. We're so proud to be a part of this community.
