A Child's Dream

Presented by the long-standing and highly complimented Murray Symphony under the batons of Music Director Michelle Willis and Assistant Conductor, Ernest Nielsen, this annual event will put you in the mood for winter wonderlands, sleigh bells in the snow, and delightful festivities with friends and loved ones.
