the seasoN at a GlaNCeWelcome to the 2011 Performing arts season at harford Community College. each year, we host a variety of cultural opportunities from national touring acts to local resident companies, jazz to classical to folk, opera to ballet to musical comedy. From month to month and year to year, you never know who will be gracing our stages – but you can be sure they will create an unforgettable experience. Check the various listings in the Fine arts Calendar to select all of your favorites, but remember many shows sell out fast. avoid disappointment by ordering your tickets early.
