More than 140 musicians of the Symphony and Chorale will take the stage at Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox to bring this global phenomenon to Spokane revelers. Eckart Preu brought this popular tradition with him from Germany. Now selling out every year, this concert inspires with the music's themes of freedom and brotherhood.
