Philharmonic Society of Belleville's Season Closer (and dinner)

Come over to this side of the river (or stay on this side...) and see the Philharmonic Society of Belleville's spectacular season closing concert. The concert features the 60 member Belleville Philharmonic Orchestra (second oldest in the country!) with the acclaimed voices of the Philharmonic Chorale, in a setting using a legendary pipe organ.

This is a big, exciting and ambitious program by a remarkable organization. And it's an entirely free event, but get your ticket(s) here now: https://bellevillephilharmonic.org/event/season-closer/.

Be sure to RSVP and answer the question there about joining us for dinner beforehand. The orchestra will set aside seating at the concert for our Meetup to be able to sit together. There is plenty of free parking also available nearby. We'll be well into Daylight Savings Time so there will be plenty of light if you are finding your way there In Belleville for the first time.
