Message from the executive office
The joy and merriment continue with another busy holiday week-end of performances at FIM. Our youth ensembles will lift your spirits and have you humming along to many holiday favorites. It’s always wonderful to see how much these young musicians have accomplished since coming together in the fall.
The Grammy award-winning legendary Clark Sisters bring their gospel classics to the Capitol Theatre this Sunday and I hope you plan to be there. This is a made in Michigan treat you do not want to miss.
Tickets for the December 18 Holiday Pops are going fast but it’s not too late to join us for our closing performance of this festive season.
I hope your week-end is filled with joy!
Sincerely,
|
