BONNERS FERRY — Novinger Music Center and the Bonners Ferry Community Orchestra are combining forces to present a concert featuring music by one of the greatest composers of all time Ludwig van Beethoven.
The concert is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16 at Becker Auditorium at Bonners Ferry High School.
The first half of the concert will consist of students from Novinger Music Center playing a variety of Beethoven's piano and violin works. The following students will perform: Jonas and Johanna Snyder, Josiah Martin, Andelynn and Brynlee Zimmerman, Ethan Cowell, Dakyn, Kaelan and Ambur Robbins, Kyler Bushnell and Wyatt Marino.
After the intermission, the 40-member community orchestra will play movements from Beethoven's 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th Symphonies. In addition, Janet Peterson and Glenda Novinger will perform the 4th movement of Beethoven's Sonata for Pianoforte and Violin in F Major.
The concert promised to be educational, as well as entertaining, for all ages. Beethoven's music has stood the test of time.
It is beautiful, passionate, peaceful, stormy and amazing, especially considering that much of it was written after the composer lost his hearing, concert organizers wrote. Come out and be inspired.
The concert is free to the public, donations are accepted.
