At 2:00 PM on Sunday afternoon December 11th the sound of trumpets and horns will fill the air, as the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass perform their second annual concert in the beautiful and historic Episcopal Memorial Church of Our Father, overlooking the Allegheny River Valley.

The Pittsburgh Symphony Brass players will provide a marvelous mix of sacred and festive music in the wonderful vaulted wood and stone structure now nearly one hundred and thirty years old.

For just one day, on the 15th of August, 2009 Foxburg added a new dimension to it’s many facets – a celebration of Scotland. The sound of bagpipes filled the air as the strolling bagpipers marched about throughout the day. Men outfitted in their finest kilts roamed the grounds while sheepdogs rounded-up all of the roaming sheep.
