Monday evening, Snyder residents can treat their ears to classical music at a free concert at the Scurry County museum.
Pianist Chelsea Wang and cellist Evan Drachman will perform starting at 6 p.m.
Drachman is sought-after for his solo and chamber music performances, and as founder and artistic director of The Piatigorsky Foundation, he has become one of the most respected authorities on the presentation of live classical music for audiences everywhere.
In 1999, Drachman recorded his first CD, A Frog He Went a Courting, with pianist Richard Dowling. Drachman has appeared regularly as soloist with orchestras and in recitals and chamber music performances across the United States and abroad.
Chelsea Wang has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in many venues across North America, Asia and Europe, including The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and Merkin Hall in New York City. 
She is a prize winner and finalist of many national and international piano competitions, and has performed alongside eminent musicians including Ida Kavafian, Ani Kavafian, Steven Tenenbom and other inspirational mentors. 
Wang has been a soloist with orchestras across the country, including Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and Des Moines Symphony Orchestra.
The concert is sponsored by Scurry County Friends of The Piatigorsky Foundation and the Scurry County Museum. 
Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted.
