Philharmonic River Cruise Benefit Concert

Description

“All Aboard the Fox River Queen for a Fox Valley Philharmonic Performance” Back by popular demand, the Fox Valley Philharmonic Orchestra will sponsor another riverboat concert this September 11th at 5:00 p.m. embarking on the “Fox River Queen” from Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles. As before, the concert-cruise is in the spirit of King George’s 1717 party down the Thames River and will consist of a one-hour boat tour on the Fox River. The river-cruise concert comes complete with musical ambience of light classics provided on both decks of the grand paddlewheel boat by the Philharmonic’s Woodwind and Brass ensembles. The benefit-concert supports the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance, a non-profit organization providing free orchestra concerts and youth orchestra training throughout the Fox Valley area. River-cruise benefit tickets are $25 per person. Advance purchase determines boarding sequence (90-person boat capacity).

This event is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
