Join the Fox Valley Philharmonic for free concert April 13

At 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 13, the Fox Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, and director Maryann Flock, will present a free concert featuring a broad spectrum of classical music.

Two solo works highlight the program this spring. The Fox Valley Academy Concerto Competition Winner, Taylor Anhalt of Oswego will perform Handel's ornate Oboe Concerto in G minor, and Carolyn Wright, Philharmonic principal cellist, will dazzle the audience with Saint-Saens' Cello Concerto in A minor.

The concert will also feature our Philharmonic Winds in Charles Gounod's Petite Symphony. And as a finale, the full orchestra will captivate the audience with C.P.E. Bach's brilliant Symphony in D Major.

The Philharmonic is an integral part of the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance. The Academy's Youth Strings and Orchestra will also perform classical works at a 1 p.m. concert.

Come experience artistic music in the pleasant surroundings of the Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Naperville. Admission to the concert is free, but donations are needed. The church is at 1451 Raymond Drive, Naperville, just south of I-88, less than a mile east of Route 59, with plenty of parking.

For more information on this or future concerts, visit the Philharmonic Orchestra's website at FVacademy.org, or call (630) 476-9072. Our concerts are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council agency.

At 1 p.m. Sunday, April 13, the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance and director, Gina Detienne, will perform classical favorites.
