Ten O’Clock Classics, Pratt:  Pratt Community Concert Assn has rescheduled the Ten O’Clock Classics to April 8, 7 p.m. in the Pratt United Methodist Church. This quartet mixes styles, instrumentation and genres-even tossing in some jazz rhythm to create what Wynton Marsalis describes as the joy of classical music arrangements for the uninitiated.

Tickets at the door are $15.
