The Oak Ridge Community Band will present their annual Showcase Concert on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 3:30 p.m. in the historic Grove Theater Performing Arts Center.

The Community Band wants to remind all those people who enjoy the community band summer concerts in Oak Ridge’s A.K. Bissell Park that this is the same band performing as brass, woodwind, percussion, and other groups with an entertaining variety of musical selections for this concert, which traditionally attracts a large audience.

Band members and area musicians always look forward to the Showcase Concert because it gives them the opportunity to perform in small ensembles. Among the groups performing in the Jan. 27 concert will be the Silver Winds Flute Choir, the Tanasi Winds Quintet, a tuba-euphonium ensemble, the Ultimate Brass ensemble, the Secret City Winds Quintet, a percussion group, and clarinet soloist Morrie Bowden playing a medley of Benny Goodman swing tunes accompanied by the band.

The Oak Ridge Community Band is directed by Dale Pendley and assistant conductor Lisa Michaels. More than 70 area musicians volunteer their time to weekly rehearsals and 10 concerts every year to provide excellent band programs for area residents. The Jan. 27 Showcase Concert program promises to be a special performance of entertaining music.

Admission to the concert is $8 adults and $6 for senior citizens and students. Free refreshments will be provided in the lobby at the conclusion of the concert program. For more information, visit the band’s web site at www.orcb.org or call (865) 482-3568.

The Grove Theater Performing Arts Center is located at 123 Randolph Road in Oak Ridge.
