Gershwin cousin will speak at brass concert in Mount Dora

The Lakeside Chamber Players will welcome some special guests to their next performance, Aug. 12. The Sovereign Brass a local favorite, will be the featured entertainment.

Ross, who is 94, will talk about growing up with her famous cousin, as well as the importance of the arts and arts education, according to Janet Harris, executive director and bassoonist for Lakeside Chamber Players.

The concert will take place at 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12, at Lake Receptions, 4425 N. Highway 19A, Mount Dora. Refreshments, including a full bar, will be available for purchase. Tickets are $30 at lcpclassical.com.
