A concert by the Oak Ridge Community Band on Sunday will feature music for adults and children.
It’s the start of the new 2015-2016 series of indoor concerts, and it will open with the Children’s Concert scheduled for Sunday afternoon, October 11. The performance will begin at 3:30 p.m at the Oak Ridge High School Performing Arts Center.
Along with the new season will come some new changes, a press release said. Tickets at the door will be only $5 per person for all adults over 18, and children through age 18 will be free.
In addition, the public will have the opportunity at the October 11 concert to purchase season member cards allowing admission to concerts held in October, November, January, February, and April for only $15 per person, which is a savings of the cost of tickets to two out of the five concerts listed above.
Still something else new is the band’s collection of e-mail addresses for people who would like online notification before each concert; if you are interested in being on the list, please leave your e-mail address at the ticket table.
The concert program on October 11 will be entertaining for adults as well as children. The band will perform such favorites as “Symphonic Highlights from ‘Frozen'” from Disney’s animated feature movie, Pharrell Williams’ “Happy,” and a musical narration of “Peter and the Wolf” featuring Oak Ridge High School student Lucas Potter as narrator for a truly delightful number. Other program pieces include every University of Tennessee fan’s favorite, “Rocky Top,” a cute tune “The Roosters Lay Eggs in Kansas,” and a Latin flavor song “Lemons and LImes,” and more.
“Don’t miss this particularly fine concert on October 11, and be sure to bring your families, relatives, and friends,” the press release said.
Free refreshments will be offered at the conclusion of the program.
