Venice Musicale’s February Concert Event
“Will You Be My Valentine?”
February 15, 2024, 3:00 PM
By Jean Barlow
for Venice Musicale
Our next concert asks, “Will You Be My Valentine?” Continuing our monthly series in the New Year, this event celebrates all things love, and will be staged on Thursday, February 15, 2024, 3:00 PM, at Venice Public Library. Covering the subject of affection over time, this array of musical selections will include a range from classical through the Great American Songbook, and some from film and theatre as well. Including some favored Venice Musicale “regulars,” we also welcome back by popular demand the Venice Dulcimer String Ensemble, a group of about a dozen dulcimer artists, with Sue Fitz as leader. Vocal solos and duets as well as instrumental selections will be included in the program.
We look forward to having you with us as we present songs of love at this time of Valentine’s Day. So, bring along your significant other or your friend—the concert is free and open to the public! For information about the organization and to donate to our Scholarship mission, please visit us at: venicemusicale.org.
