The Simpson College Community Orchestra will present its fall concert on Sunday, November 24th, at 7:30pm in the Blank Performing Arts Center. A dessert reception will follow the performance. The free, hour-long concert is family friendly. The orchestra will herald the coming of the Christmas season with a performance of the Fantasia on “We Three Kings”, by Brian Balmages. The program includes two pieces by women composers. Dochas, which means “Hope” in Scottish Gaelic, is a slow fanfare by Laura Pettigrew to be performed by the full orchestra. The string orchestra will perform the first movement of Libby Croad’s Suite for String Orchestra, an ensemble favorite because of its playful fugal melodies and its interplay of pizzicato and arco passages. Call 961-1637 any questions regarding the performance.
