Mr. Edmund Fry, of the Rose Tree Cottage in Pasadena, will be the Master of Ceremonies.
The concert will cover music composed from 1543 through the present.

This promises to be an evening filled with wonderful music and special treats for the audience. The concert is FREE to the public, so bring your family, friends and neighbors for a great evening of entertainment.
