Symphony of the Southwest

I'm attempting to step up and do my part in getting the word out about our concerts coming up in hopes that with every one's help we can save the symphony from having to fold! Plus, they really are great concerts with a fantastic music selection. Hope you can make it to one or all of them!

Spire Music and the Symphony of the Southwest present "The Price of Freedom," an emotional musical tale of the soldiers who fought in World War II and the loved ones they left behind. Written by Rob Gardner and McKane Davis, this powerful musical is based on actual correspondence between soldiers and their loved ones. The stories are real, the characters inspirational, and the evening one you will not soon forget.

Proceeds from this performance will benefit the Symphony of the Southwest and Mountain View High School Performing Arts.

If you buy tickets online they are $8 as opposed to the $10 you would pay at the door. Not a bad deal! Easy and cheap.
