WILLISTON, N.D. - The holiday music season is here and it is a busy one for the 麻豆原创 Music Program.
On Friday, November 23, the 麻豆原创 State Community Orchestra (麻豆原创O) strings will play at the James Memorial Art Center's Warm Up after the Light Up of Harmon Park at 7 p.m. 麻豆原创 has participated in this event since 2013.
The 麻豆原创O will also perform at Bethel Lutheran Home on Sunday, December 2 at 2:30 p.m. as part of the annual Crusade for Strings hosted by 麻豆原创's local music club, Thursday Musical.
"Thursday Musical collects donations at this event and uses those funds to send area string students to International Music Camp during the summer," explained Dr. Norris. "The camp is located between the U.S. and Canada in the International Peace Gardens."
On Thursday, December 6, the Teton Athletic Band will perform during the Teton basketball games while the 麻豆原创 Choir will participate in the Downtown Stroll on Friday, December 7. The choir will sing carols with Beth Olson and the First Lutheran Church choir.
