The award-winning Floyd Central High School Orchestra Department will present its annual Fall Concert this coming Tuesday, October 21, at 7:00 p.m. in the FCHS Auditorium.  The approximately 75 minute long program will feature 135 musicians from the Baroque Strings, the Camerata Strings, and the Symphony Orchestra.  The concert, themed "Celestial Fantasy," will feature pieces by American and European composers that are dedicated to the evening sky.  There is a suggested donation of $5.00 per adult, with children 12 and under admitted for free.   There will be a reception in the auditorium lobby immediately following the concert.

"This concert has a lot of great music inspired by the night sky," said Doug Elmore, the orchestra director.  "We are doing everything from "Clair de Lune" by Debussy to "Stardust" by Hoagy Carmichael (a noted Indiana musician and composer the 1930's & 40's).  In addition, Elmore noted, this will be the first FCHS Fall Concert in the school's history to feature the entire Symphony Orchestra (strings plus winds and percussion) on a piece.  The orchestra will end the concert with the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 1.
