John Brown Quintet Performance-Cancelled
The snowy weather has made it impossible for the John Brown Quintet to travel to the Davis Theatre, and so tonight’s performance is cancelled.
Arts Council staff are working with the quintet to find a date to reschedule the performance. Once that decision has been made, all ticket holders will be notified.
