RPO Concert Dec. 4 at Newark High School

The Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce and the Newark School district have teamed up to bring the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra to town to perform at Newark High School December 4 at 7:30 p.m.

'The Chamber's support of an artistic event of this caliber is a great holiday gift. We are very pleased to help to bring the RPO holiday concert to the area that we know so many people look forward to and enjoy,' said Dave Tyler, Community Bank retail services officer, who is the chairman of the Chamber committee planning the concert. The RPO concert will nicely cap off the Reliant Holiday Spirit Week in our community.'

The school district will provide the high school auditorium for the event and shuttle bus service from the Woodlane Community Church parking lot.

Ticket prices will be $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and for students and are sale at the Chamber office at 199 Van Buren Street, weekdays from 10 to 2, at Newark Wegmans customer service desk and at Community Bank on West Miller St.

Wegmans is again a generous supporter of this event.

Newark High School music department boosters will hold a pasta dinner from 5 to 7 in the school cafeteria before the concert. Tickets can be purchased at the Wegmans service desk or the Chamber office.

The auditorium doors will open at 7:25 p.m. for the concert. You will be asked to sit in the gymnasium until RPO staff open the doors.

Newark High School Jazz Ensemble will be performing holiday music in the gym during that time. Concert goers who'd like to top off the evening with dessert with family and friends will be able to do so at candlelit tables in the school.

There will be a raffle; four holiday RPO CDs will be given away in the drawing. Winners must be present to win. Anyone with questions may call Dave Schwind at 332.3200, ext. #2251.
