Exposition: Dr. Hopkins Brings the Symphony to the Park with “Pops in the Park” Concert on Sept. 19th

The Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra is a highly acclaimed orchestra that has had the honor of collaborating with well-known artists and has even toured both nationally and internationally. The symphony orchestra offers free concerts, tours, and educational events to the community each semester.
