2010 Season Concerts

BEETHOVEN AND

BLUE JEANS

Enjoy the Wine and Arts Festival and then join us for "Beethoven and Blue Jeans". We look forward to seeing a sea of blue jeans in the audience! Come to the concert in your most comfortable blue jeans (or any casual attire you'd like). The point is to be comfortable! Attending live performances of classical music is not some scary, stuffy, elitist experience. It can be as regular a part of your life as your favorite pair of blue jeans.

Help our local economy-Give to the WO!

Fact: Any time money changes hands there is a measurable economic impact. Social service organizations, libraries, and all entities that spend money have an economic impact. What makes the economic impact of arts and culture organizations unique is that, unlike most other industries, they induce large amounts of related spending by their audiences. For example, when patrons attend a performing arts event, they may purchase dinner at a restaurant, eat dessert after the show, and return home and pay the baby-sitter. All of these expenditures have a positive and measurable impact on the economy.
