AUGUSTA — The Augusta Symphony Orchestra is set to perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 9, at Cony High School, 60 Pierce Drive.
Like the orchestra’s original 1920s concerts, performances are free and open to the public.
An ensemble of 50 members, the orchestra is an eclectic mix of local business owners, IT specialists, medical professionals, engineers, schoolteachers, music educators and retirees. Though most of the players live in the Augusta area, several travel from Bangor, Brunswick, Farmington and Yarmouth to practice and perform. They range in age from 20-year-olds to octogenarians.
Formed in 1920, the group’s most recent performance, a holiday show at the Augusta South Paris Church, drew a standing-room-only crowd of more than 300 people.
