Eighty-five years ago, on December 7, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor led to the full involvement of the U.S. in World War II. A total of 2,405 Americans lost their lives; an additional 1,178 were wounded. On this anniversary, the North Hennepin Community College Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Judy Blomberg, invites you to an evening of music for remembrance and reflection.
