The program will include:

Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor by Bach (first movement).

Admission is free. Donations received at the event will help fund the Lawrence Schools Foundation Music Endowment. Grants are awarded annually from the fund to Lawrence Public Schools music educators who apply for funding for materials and activities that will enrich and enhance music education. The first round of grants, dispersed last spring, funded the purchase of guitars and accessories for a guitar lab at Deerfield Elementary, small group orchestra lessons at South Junior High and also provided funding for the all-city junior high jazz band.
Community members are invited to enjoy fresh baked desserts, tea and coffee after the concert in the Mayflower Room of the church.
