This concert is made possible by the very generous support of the Musicians Performance Trust Fund of the American Federation of Musicians, as administered by the Chicago Federation of Musicians, Local 10-208.
The Park Ridge Fine Arts Society is extremely grateful for this crucial support, and for the ongoing assistance of the Chicago Federation of Musicians.
It takes a village to keep the music alive.
For over 65 years, these concerts have been a gift to the community—made possible by the generous hearts of people like you. Every note played, every memory made in the park, happens because neighbors, sponsors, and volunteers come together to make it happen.
