Room to Play
For two decades a group of amateur and professional musicians volunteer their time to gather weekly to rehearse music that is challenging, new, and diverse. Their dedication and performance is of the highest quality.
Whether they've played it every day since they first started as a child, picked it up as an adult, or took a thirty-year break in between, Room to Play investigates how a group with such talent and purpose came and stayed together. Going behind the scenes, the musicians and staff share stories of how the NPO has been a catalyst for so many friendships, families, and new fans of symphonic music.
