The 2008 Inaugural Series was structured as a unit -- the three evenings were loosely titled MUSIC, SONG and DANCE, respectively.  Our Artists in Residence, The Blue Rose Trio, anchored each evening and were the sole performers at the first concert.  For more information on The Blue Rose Trio, click Artists in Residence.
