The Ritchie Community League has teamed up with brass musicians from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra to bring you a taste of symphonic music Saturday, Aug. 8 at Ritchie Park.

The quintet will begin performing at 2 p.m., but come early to get settled. Bring a blanket or low festival chairs and ensure you set up two metres (six feet) from other households. Music connects us, even when we have to keep our social distance.

Alberta Health guidelines allow for seated outdoor concerts of up to 200 people with physical distancing. To help ensure we don’t put each other at risk, let us know you are coming via Eventbrite.

We can’t imagine a world without live music and are pleased to help the ESO bring its music to you. In return, we ask you to help support the ESO by donating generously at this event. We understand that not everyone can give, but every amount makes a difference. The ESO is a charitable organization so all pledges, cheques and online donations are tax deductible.

• You can give online

• You can fill out a pledge form at the concert or bring a cheque.

• We will also be collecting cash which will go directly to the musicians.
