This season, Chamber Music on the Fox has been highlighting local organizations through its “Concerts & Community” series. This month, it will be Friends of the Fox River which works diligently to preserve, restore and protect the Fox River watershed’s resources by connecting people with nature through education, research, restoration and advocacy. Be sure to talk to them and find out about the work they are doing, and how you can get involved.

The concert is sponsored by Henry and Suzanne Rozycki and Edward and Karen Schock.
