About 

The RRAC Summer Concert Series aims to find connections between the  visual and musical arts and to make classical music more accessible to  all members of the Buchanan area community. Performances are presented  in a casual setting, allowing interaction between the musicians and  audience. Musicians share the history and stories behind the works  presented, and they create a deeper connection between the audience and  music. These concerts are family and kid-friendly, accessible, and free  to the public.
