A Story and a Symphony, All in One Morning
You’ll enjoy a children’s book reading accompanied by an ensemble of SoNA musicians performing a new arrangement of “The Planets” by Gustav Holst. SoNA bassoonist Richard Bobo arranged the piece for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, violin, and cello, so expect something that feels intimate and live in a way a full orchestra hall rarely does.
What SoNA Beyond Is All About
SoNA Beyond takes classical music out of the concert hall and brings it into spaces where you already spend your time. The ensembles perform programs built on distinctive programming and partnerships with local organizations, designed to be welcoming no matter how much or how little you know about classical music. These aren’t scaled-down orchestra performances. They’re experiences built specifically for the community.
Worth the Trip Downtown
Located in the heart of downtown Bentonville, the library is one of those spots worth adding to your regular rotation. Saturday, March 14 gives you a solid reason to stop in.
