DHC in Concert with the Thayer Symphony Orchestra

CONCERT RESCHEDULED - Sat. Dec. 27th!

Deborah Henson-Conant with the
Thayer Symphony Orchestra
Sat. Dec.
13 27, 2008 • 7:30 PM
Dukakis Performing Arts Center

Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School
1050 Westminster St.• Fitchburg, MA 01420

We'd played five minutes of the first rehearsal of our Holiday concert when the lights in the hall flickered, sirens blared and we plunged into darkness.  We grabbed our instruments and muddled out using emergency lights, then huddled in the icy rainstorm for an hour 'til we learned the transformer had blown. It would take days to fix.   We inched home over icy roads and then learned that thoousands of homes were without power.  Some of them STILL in darkness, ten days later!

So come celebrate the return of the lights on Dec. 27th!
