Arts at Noon welcomes Grand Rapids Symphony

The 38th season of Grand Valley's Arts at Noon series continues Wednesday, February 3, with the return of the Grand Rapids Symphony for its annual series performance.

"As the premiere arts organization in West Michigan, the Grand Rapids Symphony provides amazing cultural and educational benefits to the region," said Henry Duitman, Arts at Noon coordinator and GVSU Symphony Orchestra director. "It is especially important for our students to hear the symphony as often as possible because it gives us a model of excellence, as well as a most enjoyable aesthetic experience when they come for their yearly concert."

During this free concert, the GRSO will perform two serenades for string orchestra: Dag Wiren's "Serenade for Strings" and Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture."

All of the Arts at Noon concerts take place in the Cook-DeWitt Center, begin at noon, and last approximately one hour. The concerts are free and open to the public.
