ONE FINAL THOUGHT ON THE CONCERTS:
All of the concerts in the listings are free to
the general public, and there are some truly
outstanding programs. However, many of the
groups and organizations sponsoring these
concerts incur substantial costs in bringing
them to you year
after year. Donations which allow them to
continue their tradition of bringing quality
music to the general public at no charge
are appreciated.
. . . AND ONE REQUEST FOR VISITORS: Survey forms are sometimes passed out at concerts/event venues, and the question "How did you hear about this event?" is often asked. If you
are attending an event you found on this site and receive such a form, it would be much appreciated if you let them know that you found the information
on www.dorothyswebsite.org. Thank you!
