Concert to benefit Catholic Charities

ORLANDO — The Orlando Concert Band will present a concert to benefit Catholic Charities of Central Florida at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe, 8300 Vineland Ave., Orlando.

Directed by Jon Territo, the band will present music by various composers, including John Philip Sousa, James Curnow and portions of the famous “Organ Symphony” by French composer Camille Saint-Saens. 

 The band, Central Florida’s premier wind and percussion ensemble, was founded in 1989 and plays a variety of the traditional, sacred, popular and patriotic music one would expect to hear on weekends at a small-town bandstand in rural America.

No tickets are required. A freewill offering will be taken.
