"The Trombones de Costa Rica is a trombone quartet of world-class musicians. With a broad repertoire from classical through their own Latin flavors, their performances are captivating for all audiences.

"Tickets for the concert are $10 general admission, and will be available at the door (cash or check only). Mars Hill students may attend for free, with their college ID."
