Time to rosin up those bows as the elementary strings program gets ready to take the stage at the Winter Strings Concert this coming Thursday, Jan. 12, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The program takes place at the Performing Arts Center at the regional high school.

For those out of the orchestral loop, the strings program utilizes the Suzuki method to bring instrument lessons to the elementary schools around the Island. To watch the kids perform together, including the traditional grand finale of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, is to believe, once again, that angels do walk among us. Honest.

The concert is free, but donations to the program are appreciated.
