Note from Steve Hirsch: I’d like to let you know that the first performances of my piece for the Audubon Symphony, “Chanukah: A Concert Overture” will take place December 13 and 15th.  I’d like to invite everyone to come: it will be part of a Holiday Concert, and most of the music will be traditional Christmas/Holiday tunes, plus a few light classical numbers. My piece will be the only Chanukah music.  The performance on Friday night, December 13, is at St. Luke’s UCC Church, 200 Main St, in Trappe (on Ridge Pike, just west of Collegeville) at 8:00pm.  The performance on Sunday afternoon, at 4:00pm, on December 15, is at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 132 E. Valley Forge Rd, King of Prussia, diagonally across from the Upper Merion Community Center and off Henderson Rd. We will host a reception afterwards.
