A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
October is filled with fantastic performances. There is something for everyone: a best-selling author, a world-renowned symphony, and the return of our Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital Family Series, to name a few of our Presenting Series events. The Department of Theatre presents its first show of the season, and Music Department ensembles fill Baker Hall with beautiful voices and noteworthy Jazz. Thank you for connecting with us. With Gratitude, Mark Fitzgerald Wilson
