Music lovers will be delighted that the orchestra's albums will be on sale prior, during and after each performance.

Thanks to the generosity of our contributors, ticket prices at the door are still a very affordable $20.

MOSI to host one Art Exhibition - Call to Artists for Submissions
The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) is accepting submissions for the upcoming one exhibition in it’s ARC Gallery.

one is a multimedia art exhibition that explores the concept of “one”. “One”, as a number, refers to the integer before two and after zero. It could also be perceived as unity or an ideological force, such as narcissism, capitalism or monotheism. Many facets explore the singular; a sole aim, a single life, a solitaire game.

The exhibition will consist of a broad spectrum of ideas, expressions, and critical examinations of “one” or“1” by local artists and researchers in visual studies.

The opening reception will be held on January 29, 2010 from 7pm to 11pm.

Accepted video work for this exhibition will have a screening in the IMAX® Dome Theatre during the opening reception.

All artwork accepted, will exhibit in the ARC Gallery at MOSI and will be on display from January 29 through February 26, 2010.
