Marion Philharmonic Orchestra Presents “Evening of Serenades”

The Marion Philharmonic Orchestra will present its third and final concert of its first season with new Maestro Matthew Kraemer on Saturday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the beautiful Gothic designed, First United Methodist Church, 624 S. Adams Street, Marion. This “Evening of Serenades" will include music by Strauss, Mozart, and Brahms. In contrast to the previous two concerts of this season, which were presented by the full orchestra, these serenades will demonstrate the MPO's versatility by showcasing a smaller number of our musicians. Refreshments will be served afterwards for a social hour in the fellowship hall. Tickets can be ordered by calling the MPO at 765-662-0012 or sending an email to mpo.marion@gmail.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the First United Methodist Church and at the door before the concert. Adult tickets are $20, senior tickets are $18, students 13 and up are $10, and children 12 and under are free.
A longtime supporter has offered to do a match of $5,000 for end of the year expenses. $1500 has already been raised by donors. This is a wonderful opportunity to double the impact of your gift.

As Grant County’s orchestra, the MPO partners with generous donors each year to provide rich musical and educational experiences. This past season, the MPO engaged more than 1000 young people in its programming through concert attendance, production assistance, and performance opportunities. Since it began in 1969, the orchestra has evolved from a group of local volunteer musicians into a professional symphony that features the finest musicians in the state in some of the most beautiful and intimate venues in the county.
