NEW DATE: 7HB has rescheduled the date of this concert for Sunday, February 2, 2025 (original date: February 9). Our start time will remain at 3:00 pm.

7HB continues their 2024-2025 season with “The Four Elements: Water.” Explore the movement and mystery of life-giving water through music: gently rolling rivers, tempestuous storms at sea, icy realms, and flowing tears of both joy and sadness.
