The New Orleans Civic Symphony

The New Orleans Civic Symphony’s last performance of the 2011-2012 season will take place at one of our favorite venues, Trinity Episcopal Church on Jackson Avenue.  We are thrilled to be a part of their Trinity Artist Series once again this year.

The program will include the Vaughn Williams “Folk Song Suite” as well as selections from Massenet’s ballet “Le Cid.”  We’ll also be featuring some cool jazz jams before we send you off into the hot New Orleans summer.  See you there, music lovers!
