Presented by the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint under its Music Matters! program, the morning concert is by invitation only, while the evening performance is open to anyone, with a suggested donation of $5 at the door (300 N. First Ave., in downtown Sandpoint). Children 12 and under get in for free. Both concerts are an hourand-a-half long.
