I heard Mr. Wilkins on 1310 The Light 2/8/2011 as he and host, Mr. Amos Brown, were speaking about the Omaha symphony and the collaboration of Earth, Wind, and Fire's music. I have NEVER attended a symphony but is very interested in such. Will the symphony be on tour, have CDs available (as I cannot travel to Omaha)or will access to the music be made available?
