The Seacoast Community Orchestras will hold their free Fall Concert on Tuesday evening, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. This family-friendly performance will be held at the Great Salt Bay Community School (559 Main St.) in Damariscotta and feature local musicians of all ages.

All are invited to attend and celebrate this approximately one hour free concert performed by our exceptionally talented friends and neighbors. Among the pieces performed will be the “Mandalorian Star Wars Theme,” “A Knights Quest” and “Iditarod” by Soon Hee Newbold, “Concerto Grosso” by Francesco Geminiani, “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and “Capriol Suite for Strings” by Peter Warlock.

The more advanced Mezza and Avanzata Orchestras are directed by Ferdinand Liva of the Daponte String Quartet; the Primo Orchestra is directed by Kaity Newell, director of the Great Salt Bay Community School Strings Program.

Area string players at all levels and ages are encouraged to join one or more of the Seacoast Community Orchestras. Rehearsals are on Tuesday afternoons at Great Salt Bay Community School. Brass and Woodwind musicians are invited to join for the spring season when symphonic pieces are performed.

If you would like to play with the orchestras or have questions, please contact Kaity Newell (knewell@aos93.org) or Ferdinand Liva (giamuse@comcast.net) or check out seacoastorchestra.org.

Seacoast Community Concerts are held in both the fall and spring and are free to all. We appreciate any donations.
