DANBURY — Danbury Music Centre invites young people of any age to attend “Circus on a String,” performance scheduled for Sunday, February 25, at 3 pm, at Ives Concert Hall, 181 White Street. Admission is free.

Danbury Symphony Orchestra, under music director emeritus James E. Humphreville, will be joined by 10-year-old pianist Jason Zhang and the Robert Rogers Puppet Company for a one hour performance.
