One of the best things in life is friendship. That’s especially true when a friendship stands the test of time. You may not live near each other anymore. You may have different hobbies, careers, and schedules. But when you DO get to spend time together again, none of that matters.

Help us welcome back our much-loved former principal bassoonist Catherine Marchese this coming January for a special concert.
