NEWPORT — The Newport Area Community Orchestra is getting ready for its fourth annual fall concert at the Goodrich Memorial Library. The concert will take place on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.

The orchestra is asking for a $5 per person tax-deductible donation for the concert. The program will include the following pieces:

Concerto for Harp by Handel (Abigail Stockman, Soloist)
Concertino for Horns and Orchestra by Witt (Marc and Ros Semprebon, Anna Shelow, Soloists)
The Watchers for Two Flutes, Oboe, Clarinet and Orchestra by Gibson (Paula Hansen-Graveline, Heather Webster, John Barr, Chris Maginniss, Soloists)
Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra by Tchaikovsky (Thurmond Knight, Soloist)
Symphony No. 100 (The Military) by Haydn

Since 2011, the orchestra has grown to over 40 members and is still growing. Besides performing at various local venues throughout the year, the Newport Area Community Orchestra presents three annual concerts.

They play once in the spring, and twice in the fall, with one fall concert done to raise money for the Haskell Opera House.
