“Auburn Symphony Orchestra at Benaroya Hall” – January 2007

This 10th anniversary concert is designed to raise awareness of the Auburn Symphony as one of the State’s few fully professional symphony orchestras.  It is also to honor music director Stewart Kershaw and the ASO's musicians, who year after year produce high caliber music without always receiving the recognition they deserve.
