Earlier this year, the Grand Rapids Symphony announced the addition of a new chamber music series to its musically diverse lineup. Great Eras, a three-concert series sponsored by Crowe Horwath, was designed to explore different periods of orchestral music—Classical, Baroque, and Romantic. Comprising fewer musicians than the symphony orchestra, Great Eras’ chamber orchestra instrumentation will allow audiences to experience the Grand Rapids Symphony in a smaller, more intimate setting: the beautiful Royce Auditorium at St. Cecilia Music Center. The new series kicks off with the program The Classical Concert, Friday, November 15, at 8 p.m.

The campaign, “Break Free from PFDs,” aims to help women understand the facts about PFDs and empower them with information on how to pursue individualized solutions for improved quality of life. The campaign was launched by the PFD Alliance this fall. New research issued by the PFD Alliance finds that ninety percent of Americans underestimate or are unsure about the prevalence of PFDs, which affects approximately one in three women at some point during their lives. This means many women undertreat PFDs and suffer in silence.
