Ozark Festival Orchestra to open 38th season Oct. 29

October 18, 2017
            The Ozark Festival Orchestra will open its 38th season with a “Salute to America” concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 29, at the Monett High School Performing Arts Center. Music Director Todd Borgmann has assembled orchestral arrangements of several favorite patriotic songs and two works for narrator and orchestra that spotlight major historic events.
            Major works on the concert will include James Swearingen’s “Flight of Valor,” a salute to United Flight 93 on 9/11 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and “Lincoln at Gettysburg” by Andrew Dabczynski, narrated by Judge Mike Garrett. Garrett will also serve as narrator on Bruce Healy’s arrangement of “God Bless America.”
            The concert also includes “American Civil War Fantasy” by Jerry Bilk, Morton Gould’s “American Salute,” George M. Cohan’s “Over There,” “America the Beautiful,” and an arrangement of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
            Admission is $10, or $5 for senior citizens 65 and older.
            Students high school age and younger will be admitted free. The performing arts center is located at the east end of the high school on East Cleveland Avenue, west of Bridle Lane at the Price Cutter store.
            The OFO is a community orchestra composed of players from southwest Missouri and nearby towns, focusing primarily on classical music. Rehearsals are held weekly in Monett. The orchestra is supported by memberships, local foundations, ads in the orchestra program book and funds managed by the Monett Community Foundation.
