WMS: Side-By-Side Concert

West Michigan Symphony hosted its first Side-by-Side concert as a thank-you to their community. The event brought together professional orchestra members and community musicians—some longtime players, others rediscovering orchestra music—for a day of sectionals, practice, and rehearsal leading to a joyful concert. The performance at Muskegon's Frauenthal Theater was the result of this collaborative effort and offered a fun mix of Star Wars, Sousa, and Tchaikovsky favorites. Admission was free for all attendees.
