“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Indiana Dance Conservatory for the second time this season for our performance of Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird’ Suite,” CSO Executive Director Anne Marie Chastain said. “Producing great art in the Palladium with our partner resident companies is one of the wonderful perks of being a Carmel arts organization. We appreciate the city’s support in helping make this happen and hope everyone comes out to see and hear our March 16 concert.”
