The Southeast Kansas Symphony invites you to attend the first concert of the season this Sunday, September 30 at 3:00pm in Pittsburg’s Memorial Auditorium.

The second half of the concert features the Symphony in Schubert’s glorious Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished) and the tuneful Farandole from George Bizet’s L’Arlésienne: Suite No. 2.
