The concert, which begins at 7.30pm, features movements from Sergei Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet Suites 1 & 2, Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat Suite, and Aaran Copland's Appalachian Spring.
There will also be a collection for charity to honour Francis McFarlane who recently died. Francis was a talented cellist and valued member of Bridgnorth Sinfonia.
