2010–2011 Season
Ars Viva gives five Sunday afternoon concerts (4:30 p.m.) at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, Illinois with the programming for which Maestro Heatherington is famous: unusual repertoire that often juxtaposes beloved masterworks with less familiar, yet beautiful music. His friendly, informative remarks from the stage provide context for the music and establish a welcoming atmosphere at each concert.
