How would you like to take a quick trip tonight to Paris, the City of Lights?
You can avoid all the stress and the long security lines by showing up at Everett Civic Auditorium instead of Sea-Tac Airport, and letting the Everett Symphony whisk you off for “An Evening in Paris,” an evening of beautiful music.
With special guests the Everett Chorale and music director Lee Mathews, the symphony will transport you with “A Roman Carnival Overture” by Berlioz, “Requiem” by Faure and “Symphony No. 3” by Saint-Saens.
