The WSO has opened the Dress Rehearsal for Witches & Wizards: The Music of Harry Potter to the public on Saturday, October 27th, 11AM at the Capitol Theatre.

There’s magic in the air at the Capitol Theatre as the Windsor Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Robert Franz have audiences spellbound at Witches & Wizards: The Music of Harry Potter.  Tickets have SOLD OUT to both performances on October 27th and 28th.  Due to high demand for tickets, the WSO is announcing an Open Dress Rehearsal to the public!

Join the WSO on Saturday, October 27th at 11:00AM at the Capitol Theatre as they prepare for the weekend’s performances. The doors open at 10:30AM.  Tickets are only $5 per person.

During this “working rehearsal”, audiences can expect frequent stops and starts, and that music may not be played in its entirety.  The WSO asks patrons to refrain from loud conversations, flash photography, and video taping as it is distracting for the rehearsing musicians on stage.

 This is a great opportunity to see the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, hear the wonderful scoring of John Williams, and experience what orchestral musicians do to prepare for concerts every week.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.windsorsymphony.com, in person at the box office (121 University Ave. W), or on the phone by calling (519) 973 – 1238 ext. 2.

 In an effort to garner community feedback on the upcoming 2019 Budget, the Town of Essex has launched a new survey.

The survey will give citizens the chance to weigh in on the budget priorities they feel are most important to them. The survey asks citizens to weigh in on 12 key areas of spending, as well as identify their knowledge of the budget and how they receive information from the Town.

“Results of the survey will be an important source of information on how we build our budget this year, and in the future,” said Jeffrey Morrison, Director of Corporate Services. “We welcome any questions, comments, or concerns from citizens and this new tool provides a quick and easy way to provide feedback.”

The responses from the survey will provide Council and administration key information about community priorities as they work towards finalizing next year’s budget and four-year financial forecast.

The survey, which can be filled out online at essex.ca/BudgetSurvey, will accept responses until Monday, November 19.

Print copies will also be available as of Monday, October 22 at the following Town facilities:
