- **Event Description**: Lucas Richman, Music Director and Conductor for the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, has made it his mission to instill in young children the awareness of music as an integral part of their lives. This year’s concert theme is “Belonging”. The symphony orchestra is made up of many musicians, each of whom plays an important part in bringing a composer’s music to life.
