[BSO Friends] BSO 3/14 event cancelled; Replaced by Wagner 3/21

[Tiankai Liu]

Dear Friends,

This is just to say, we are ON for Wagner tomorrow. If you haven't gotten
your college card tickets yet, they should still be available! And if you
can't make it Thursday, the same concert is playing Friday afternoon and
Saturday evening.

Hope to see you soon!
Tk
