Trinity United Methodist Church

We have been invited to perform a mini presentation of Theresa Slobodnik’s “Hansel & Gretel” in the San Luis Chamber Orchestra's Fall Concert.

Previously BT-SLO was in the midst of dress rehearsals for this same performance with SLO Chamber Orchestra when the COVID-19 Pandemic hit and all productions were devastatingly shut down.


We’re thrilled to finally bring this to a beautiful local stage and accompanying a live orchestra!
