Empty Stocking Fund Benefit Concert Dec. 11

The Scranton Brass Orchestra will present the annual Empty Stocking Fund Benefit concert Wednesday, Dec. 11, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in The University of Scranton Houlihan-McLean Center, corner of Jefferson Ave. and Mulberry St.

Admission for this concert is one new unwrapped toy, new toiletry items or a cash donation. All proceeds directly benefit local families in need.

The Scranton Brass Orchestra, now celebrating its 13th season, is a fully professional 27-member ensemble, founded in 2011, comprised of brass players and teachers from the region. Membership is by invitation.

The group's performances are free of charge and open to the public, and feature nationally- and internationally-acclaimed guest artists, including many of the most respected brass players of our time. The group made its debut before hundreds of audience members in June 2011, and has since garnered acclaim from both audiences and musicians alike.
