LW Orchestra offers free cookies

Thanks to the generosity of first cello Margie Masterson, the Leisure World Community Orchestra will provide a free homemade musical cookie to the first 30 people who come to the Amphitheater for the orchestra’s brief “End of Summer Pop Concert.”

The concert will be held Tuesday, Aug. 29 at the Amphitheater. Doors open at 1 p.m.

Trying something new, many of the regular orchestra members and conductor Dr. Sam Kim have been working through the summer. New pieces like “Gershwin by George” will be featured, along with some favorite tunes from the past, including a suite of Steven Foster melodies, “Londonderry Air” (Danny Boy), “Buglers Holiday” and more.

The orchestra continues to expand and is always interested in new players. To join, call or message Chris Gruber at 562-8845763 or email chris.p.gruber@gmail.com.
