Concerts by Candlelight 2024 Season
Music in the Afternoon at Laurel Hill Mansion
Through the years it has been our good fortune to have had so many
accomplished artists accept our invitation to play. To help defray the cost of these wonderful performances, we accept tax deductible contributions of any amount. If you would like to become a Sponsor or Patron, we will gladly add your name to our printed program. Of course we shall end each concert with our lovely reception on the porch overlooking the river, where you may enjoy refreshments and have the opportunity to meet and greet the artists. We do hope you will join us.
Sincerely,
Barbara Frankl, Music Chairperson
