There are numerous opportunities to enjoy exceptional virtual concerts this holiday season - many of these are free. As we learn about them, we're sharing details on our Facebook page (@southlakesband). Tag us or email communications@southlakesband.org with any concerts you're aware of and we'll share them. Nothing can replace seeing our own students in concert in the South Lakes Little Theater, but we hope you'll enjoy some music this season. Here are just a few opportunities:
