Many moons ago, Dr. Carl Whitehouse suggested we need a regular event series for Franklin County folks caught in the Winter doldrums. "Everybody would come out in the snow if we had Concerts for Grumpy Grownups," he said. This All Arts Council series began last year with a symphony concert, a multimedia presentation, and more.
The Concerts for Grumpy Grownups series offers exceptional classical performances with reasonable ticket prices. Some are even free!
And, despite the series title, kids of all ages are welcome.
