EVENT: Deserves broader support

| February 4, 2015 8:00 PM

My husband and I had the opportunity to hear the Coeur d’Alene Symphony Orchestra, the Coeur d’Alene Youth Orchestra and the St. George’s School Choir from Spokane. It was wonderful! I was surprised to note that there was no support of this group from any of the “city fathers.” No Hagadone company names — not Jaeger names — no Magnuson names. I realize that there are a lot of organizations that go to these folks regularly, but for something that is so amazing and involves our youth — I am surprised that there isn’t some type of support.

For the community as a whole, you who did not or have not heard these groups are missing something special. Upcoming events will be March 13-14 and May 1-2, both at the Kroc. Take time to enjoy yourself and hear some amazing young people (along with some older). Find how you can help to continue this program for our youth.
