The Civic Orchestra of 蜜柚直播 celebrates its 44th season this fall, and Music Director Charles Bontrager has programmed some interesting concerts to mark the anniversary.
The volunteer ensemble opens the season with 鈥淪ymphonic Landscapes鈥 on Oct. 19 at Desert View High School, 4101 E. Valencia Road; the concert repeats the next day at Crowder Hall at the University of 蜜柚直播. The program includes Max Bruch鈥檚 鈥淪cottish Fantasy鈥 featuring violin soloist Timothy Kantor and Respighi鈥檚 鈥淧ines of Rome.鈥
George Schwartz and a group of friends formed the Civic Orchestra of 蜜柚直播 as a creative outlet in 1975, performing works from the Baroque literature to light opera. The orchestra has grown over the past four decades to include an emphasis on children, including its popular music instrument petting zoos and its youth competition.
Admission to the orchestra’s concerts is free, although donations are accepted. Details:
