Our New Year’s Eve concert with Cirque Musica includes daring feats of focus, artistry and balance. Darko and two of our ASO musicians recently tested their circus arts skills at Hi-Wire Big Top. The verdict: We’ll leave the circus arts to the pros at Cirque Musica and stick to making great music. Don’t miss the fun — order tickets today!
