SEQUIM — The Sequim Community Orchestra will host its final concert of the 2016-17 season at 7 tonight.
The concert will be at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
The concert concludes the sixth season of the orchestra. The concert will include a viola solo by music director Phil Morgan-Ellis and guest conductor Mary Moon, former principal violin for the Port Angeles Symphony, during a performance of Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G.
Other selections will include “Siegfried-Idyll” by Richard Wagner and “Aragonaise” from the composition “Carmen.”
The orchestra is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides education on stringed instruments to students in Sequim. Now in its fourth year of offering classes, the orchestra has more than 40 students in three classes.
Run almost entirely by volunteers, all money raised by the orchestra, after concert expenses, is used to support the education of students.
This year, the Sequim Community Christmas Chorus selected the Sequim Community Orchestra String Kids program as the beneficiary of its concert proceeds.
Gail Sumpter will be at the concert tonight to present the donation to orchestra board President Beth Pratt.
