This afternoon we hosted the London Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the most famous orchestras in the world. It was a beautiful performance, made all the more special as superstar violinist, Randall Goosby, performed the Barber Violin Concerto. We are honored to have been the last stop on the orchestra’s U.S. tour, as they hopped on a plane across the pond immediately after their performance! 🙌 Thank you for everyone that attended on this special day! The London Philharmonic Orchestra is made possible by a generous gift from Manuel H. and Claire Barron. The Great Music series is supported, in part, by Ruth Stober and The Stober Lafer Family Foundation and Sandra L. and Steven P. Harris. Classical music performances are made possible, in part, by the Classical Music Fund in honor of Dr. Elliott Sroka.

Stage the Change is a non-profit dedicated to using theatre as a vehice for social change. This year, Stage the Change will honor Gavin’s life and legacy, celebrating the joy and inspiration he brought to so many. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace, Gavin.
