The Fayetteville Symphony
Orchestra will be performing outside at Pope Air Force Base Saturday,
May 9 at 4:00pm. The free concert will be offered to military
members and their families from both Pope and Ft. Bragg in gratitude
for their service and sacrifices for our country.
“Performing on base has been a dream of the orchestra’s and we
are so happy to finally see it come true” stated Linda Frenette,
executive director of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra. “We are
deeply grateful to Colonel McDonald and his wife, Bonnie, for their
hard work to make this possible as well as the Fayetteville Area
Chamber of Commerce and our generous corporate sponsors.”
Current concert sponsors include Tom Keith & Associates,
Fayetteville Area New Car & Truck Dealers Association, Moore
Exposure and Coldwell Banker Commercial United Realty.
FSO Conductor, Fouad Fakhouri, will treat the audience to a lively
selection of pops, classical and traditional patriotic favorites.
Fakhouri states that “it is an honor to perform for this deserving
audience.”
The Fayetteville Symphony hopes to make this an annual event for
the military and it is just one of the many community appearances the
orchestra has made in recent years as part of an aggressive outreach
effort.
Additional
concert sponsors are still needed - interested businesses may contact
Frenette at 910-433-4690.
