    It’s hard to find the start times for the concerts in your information sections. In fact I haven’t seen it.
    thank you, Julie

    Julie – Thank you for your comment. Start times for each concert can be found on the 2012-2013 Season page. Time and place is displayed below the listing of music to be performed. (Perhaps this was just added.)
