Fourth Sunday: Flute Music

Flute music will fill The Center's Gathering Hall from 3-5 p.m. July 22 at a Fourth Sunday concert featuring Jacqueline Aronowitz.

For more than 20 years Aronowitz has been a concert performer, soloist, and ensemble player throughout Southern California. 

She says her philosophy is: “No good flute note left behind!”

Look to a wide variety of music that celebrates the versatility and magical voices of the silver flute. The concert, one in a monthly cross-cultural series, is a benefit for Dorothy Ramon Learning Center, a nonprofit that saves and shares Native American cultures, languages, history, and traditional arts. Only $10 at the door opens your Sunday afternoon to a celebration of music inside the outstanding acoustics of the Center's San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Gathering Hall, 127 N. San Gorgonio, Banning. Light refreshments will be served afterward. Come cool off from summertime's sizzling heat and soak in some beautiful music.
