~ Thank You ~

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make our inaugural Candlelight Concert such a tremendous success!

Attendance exceeded our expectations, and we are especially thankful for the generous donations that helped make this special evening possible.

This concert was the result of months of hard work and dedication from many WRS supporters. We extend our sincere appreciation to the members of St. Matthias Episcopal Church, Reverend Carole Horton-Howe, Diana Jimenez, and Laura Stone, as well as our wonderful musicians: Joseph Stone, Agnes Szeleky Schwartz, Lisa Santana, and Sean Stewart.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Whittier Regional Symphony. Your enthusiasm and generosity mean so much to us.

We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue to plan future events and strive to make each one even better. Please share your feedback with us at info@whittierregionalsymphony.org.
