Pearl River Community College is excited to welcome back the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Ethel Holden Brownstone Center for the Arts. Along with an evening of exceptional music, attendees are invited to a special celebration prior to the performance where the 2023 inductees for the Fine Arts Hall of Fame will be recognized.
“Everyone in the Fine Arts Department is thrilled to mark this exciting milestone,” said Dr. Trevor Hunt, Fine Arts and Communications Department Chair and Director of the Brownstone Center for the Arts. “For ten remarkable years, the Ethel Holden Brownstone Center has provided a space to experience captivating performances and share in moments that resonate in the collective memory of the college and community. In that time, we have witnessed the birth of a legacy that will continue to future generations. We will mark this anniversary by honoring our 2023 Hall of Fame and a performance by the MSO.”
The Mississippi Symphony Orchestra played to a full house at the grand opening of the Brownstone in 2013. The upcoming concert will be preceded by a reception from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. During the reception, Mr. Thomas Bridge and Mr. Dale Beech will be honored as the 2023 inductees into the Fine Arts Hall of Fame.
