Young musicians will play music from several different cultures, eras and genres at the Roaring Fork Youth Orchestra’s fall concert on Sunday in Carbondale.
The free show, at Third Street Center, will start at 4 p.m.
The program includes classical compositions such as Vivaldi’s “Autumn” and Paul Dukas’ “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” as well as traditional Mexican dance songs and Irish fiddle tunes.
Also on the lineup are “The Old Boatman,” a composition by African American composer Florence Beatrice Price.
Sarah Graf, executive director for the Roaring Fork Youth Orchestra, said the variety of music — and diversity of composers — has been a focus for the organization.
“We're really glad to be playing ('The Old Boatman') on the program to add to the diversity of the music,” Graf said. “And that's been a big goal of ours — to start being sure that we're really including a wide range of composers and traditions in the music that we're playing.”
Families with young children and aspiring musicians are encouraged to attend the concert.
The performers range in age from kindergartners to high schoolers.
