The St Augustine Orchestra will present its fall concert entitled A Symphonic Sampler Friday, October 31st at 8pm at The Lightner Museum. Under the direction of William McNeiland the orchestra will present Beethoven’s Fidelio Overture with special soloist Selah Welton, a young violinist who recently won the Jacksonville Symphony’s Concert on the Green competition.

The performance will continue with a single movement from four different symphonies: the Menuetto from Symphony No. 40 in g minor by Mozart, the third movement of Symphony No. 4 by Brahms, and the third movement of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 (Italian). The final movement in the sampler will be the first movement of Symphony No. 2 in b minor by Alexander Borodin. Dvorak’s Slavonic Dance, Opus 46, No. 6 will also be included. Special guest Selah Welton, will play the first movement of the Concerto in g minor by Max Bruch. The concert will conclude with selections from “My Fair Lady”.
