14 Oct Review: First concert for new EPO director delights
Warm sounds from a French horn ensemble greeted us as we entered the Victory Theatre Saturday for the opening concert in the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra music season, “Connect & Celebrate.”
It had been a quintessential fall day — cool, sunny and breezy; and the beauty of the day complemented the beautiful music of the evening.

Audience members, limited in number, were spread out around the Victory Theatre.
