We hope you loosened your collar and maybe your belt! It was 2023's first opportunity to chat and chew the fat with good friends, and of course, the APO's world-renowned conductor.
This time, Maestro Steven Byess put down the baton and picked up the sax! Steven broke new ground and bread with some of Northwest Arkansas' most ardent arts lovers.
AKA you! And our featured Chef, Adam Thone of The Event Group.
