What Organizers are saying about this Concert Series:
"The variety of music presented in this series reflects and celebrates the diversity of visitors to the zoo. We also hope the music series will show our patrons that the arts can be an exciting element of learning about conservation, wildlife, history, and our environment." ~ Erica Nagel, Concert Series Coordinator
"After all the hard work of our staff and volunteers to renovate this space last year, we want to make sure the public knows about it, and sees it as an important part of the zoo's educational offerings. We hope that offering live music of this caliber will draw people into the amphitheater, and get them used to thinking of the space as a destination for special programs during their future visits." ~ Ed McGowan, Director of Trailside Museums and Zoo
