The Flagler Youth Orchestra’s

“Superintendent’s Take a Bow” Concert

The Flagler Youth Orchestra performs its final concert of the 2007-08 season on Wednesday, May 21, at 7 p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium Dennis Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center in Palm Coast. Conductor Jonathan May will lead Flagler County’s more than 200 budding string musicians — a cross-section of public, private and homeschooled students. The program will feature music by Handel, Verdi, and music from the IMAX film, “Everest.” Bill Delbrugge, superintendent of Flagler County will make a special appearance as guest conductor.

Tickets are available at the Flagler Auditorium box office or by calling (386) 437-7547. Adult tickets are $5.00. Children 18 and under get in free. Proceeds help underwrite instrument scholarships for children in need, a summer strings clinic, concert productions, and the cost of funding professional musicians for next year’s recruiting tour in the public schools.  The Flagler Youth Orchestra is made possible by the Flagler County School District, with the support of the Friends of the Youth Orchestra, whose sole mission is to provide free music education after school to all Flagler children with a desire to play an instrument.
