The Oak Ridge Community Band/Wind Ensemble will present its next concert in the “Music for a Lifetime” series at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 24 at the historic Grove Theater in Oak Ridge.

The concert program will feature “Early 20th Century Music” with tunes from the Golden Age, the Roaring ’20s, the ’30s, and from the Big Band era. These will include some blues by W.C. Handy, some Gershwin from “Porgy and Bess,” and big band music: “A String of Pearls,” “Sophisticated Lady,” “Satin Doll,” and “Opus One.” Other songs on the program will be music from the “Grand Canyon Suite,” a John Philip Sousa march, and others.

Guest conductor at the Nov. 24 concert will be Paul Brown, director of the Anderson County High School Band. The Community Band has begun a program of mentoring area school bands this year and is pleased to have selected Anderson County High School as its first musical partner. Brown will direct the Community Band as it performs K. Alford’s “Colonel Bogey” and R.V. Williams’s “Folk Song Suite.”

Admission to the concert is $8 for adults and $6 for senior citizens and students. Free refreshments will be provided in the lobby at the conclusion of the program.

The Grove Theater is at 123 Randolph Road.
