CONCER T SERIES
ROUTE 66 – THE HEARTL AND
Welcome! And welcome back if you’ve been here before! We’re thrilled to offer up our fourth major concert event of this year. Making a journey from one place to another is one of our favourite things to build a concert around – visiting the places in between and having a gander to see what great music might have been born in or inspired by the stops along the way. This time it’s the classic American road trip. Chicago to L.A. and as much as we can see (or hear) in between. So climb in, buckle up, and let’s go!
Mike Ross, Slaight Family Director of Music.
