MCO 25th Anniversary Concert
• St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral
• Free

The Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra came together 25 years ago as part of a music graduate student’s community project. Comprised of non-professional, yet extremely talented musicians, the orchestra performs at least three free concerts every year and plays music from a wide range of composers. With its second concert of 2009, the orchestra celebrates its 25th anniversary. If you’re seeking a little culture and don’t want to pay the high-brow price, this is the perfect compliment to a Sunday afternoon. Call 601-346-3421 for more info.
