Central Bank and Central Trust presents “Sounds of Autumn,” a FREE concert series at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays in October at the Peace through People Pavilion located within the Dogwood Garden in the Springfield Botanical Gardens, 2400 S. Scenic Avenue. Lexi Saner, Associate Director of Friends of the Garden brought Friends of the Garden Executive Director Lisa Bakerink and concert series volunteer coordinator Ric Mayer to our studio to talk about the series. “Sounds of Autumn” features a variety of local performance groups, according to Ric Mayer. "As it happens they are all local music people. We've brought (performers) from as far away as New Zealand--and we'll bring them back. We had some nice people from over there." But for this series the organizers were eager to let local musicians "show their particular talents and their singer/songwriting skills. This is our fourth year actually--we called it 'Americana and Roots in the Gardens', which is a LONG name! Now it's 'Sounds of Summer'
