Norris to Present Fox Five as Preview to Music in Gallery Series

St. Charles, Jan. 7 - The woodwind quintet Fox Five will provide a “sneak preview” of the Norris Cultural Arts Center’s new Music in the Gallery concert series, when it performs an eclectic program of classics and standards at 3 p.m., Sunday, January 18, in the art gallery at The Norris.

Fox Five is a professional, classically trained ensemble featuring flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn. All five members perform in Chicago area orchestras and concert bands. General admission tickets, “sneak preview” priced at $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12, are available online at www.NorrisCulturalArts.com and at The Norris box office in person, by phone at 630-584-7200 or on the day of the concert.

Tickets for subsequent Music in the Gallery concerts will be priced at $15 for adults and $10 for children. The Norris will announce its full season of Music in the Gallery concerts following the Fox Five performance. The series will include jazz, folk, bluegrass and classical music performers. All Music in the Gallery concerts will be presented on Sundays at 3 p.m. in the art gallery of the Norris Cultural Arts Center, 1040 Dunham Rd., St. Charles.

“We believe many cultural arts patrons are seeking an authentic, intimate musical experience that can’t be found in a concert hall,” said James L. Collins, Norris Cultural Arts Center president. “With a maximum of 150 seats, our gallery concerts will appeal to music lovers of all ages who want to enjoy an up-close and personal musical experience.”

Following the Fox Five performance, The Norris will welcome concert attendees to a reception featuring complimentary beverages and other refreshments. Attendees also may enjoy viewing the gallery’s “Whimsy Encore” exhibit, featuring nearly 100 fanciful and fantastic works in all media.
