Remembrance: A Musical Tribute to Our Heroes
Local Veterans will join the Metropolitan Wind Symphony and the Boston City Singers on Monday, May 27, 2013 at 6:30pm as we honor those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. This year will be the first annual Remembrance concert. Veterans will read words of honor and tribute as the Metropolitan Wind Symphony (MWS) plays beautiful music. The Boston City Singers (BCS) will represent the bridge between the generations. This is a family event and the setting of the beautiful Boston Waterfront will be as stirring and moving as the words and music on the stage.
