The Kennebec Performing Arts Company started as the Augusta Symphony Orchestra in 1920 under the direction of Ernest Hill, in order to provide musicians in the Kennebec area an opportunity to perform music, develop interest in choral music, the playing of woodwind, brass & percussion instruments and provide public service by presenting concerts and other performances.
This concert will include vocal selections by soloists and small groups as well as various instrumental offerings such as a trumpet solo, a tuba solo and a small jazz group. The concert will include a variety of music that showcases the many talents of our members. Come enjoy the evening with us and see the many talents within our organization while supporting the arts in your community.
