Last Thursday, the Washington Idaho Symphony had the privilege to host our annual Symphony & event at Moscow Contemporary. Symphony & Art blended the beauty of Corrie Befort’s Loess installation with the music of chamber groups formed by our own symphony musicians. Thank you to all who came to support the event!

The event would not have been complete without the local businesses that sponsored the refreshments.
