A select number of Orchestra students under the direction of Ms. Christina Sienkiewicz, will be performing for the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Capitol Square this Thursday, December 5th at 5 pm. After the tree lighting, students will perform in one of the ballrooms of the Governor’s Mansion while the pubic tours the mansion and meets the Governor.
