It will be held at the Fayetteville First United Methodist Church at 3 p.m. Admission to the concert is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students over 12, and $5 for students age six to eleven.

Composers through the years have been inspired by the sacred and the orchestra will present the results of this inspiration in the music of Bach, Copland, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Verdi and others.
