The organization’s missions are to provide central Arkansas amateur and professional musicians of all ages with a structured organization in which to pursue their musical interests, to present high-quality live entertainment, to offer professional, financial, administrative and cultural support to smaller musical ensembles in the area, and to assist in the education of student musicians.
In a news release, HSCB President Charles Gilmore said, “The Autumn Concert is a fan favorite, and a fun way to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon. The musical selections we perform are always challenging and entertaining alike.”
This year’s show will feature a wide variety of music styles, from soft melodic ballads to exciting fanfares and marches.
