Want to learn more about visual art at NESA? Join us Tuesday, October 15th for Night with NESA.

What have NESA IMs and VAs been up to? A spectacular collaboration, of course. IMs will perform Jean Sibelius’ Pelleas & Melisande, a tragic love story of loss and forgetting, accompanied by original artworks created by our VAs. (Look closely and you will spy a sketch of Mr. Towns directing). October 15th and 16th, tickets are $5.00 available at nesa.booktix.com
