We are always seeking meaningful ways to give back, and this concert series, made possible through our partnership with the Academy and First Farmers Bank & Trust, gives us the opportunity to do just that. Welcoming young, world-class talent into our historic space not only honors Richard’s legacy, but brings credit to all involved and joy to the community we serve.”
