Alpharetta City Band to Perform Friends and Family Concert

The Alpharetta City Band, under the baton of Dr. Nicole Fallin, invites friends, family and music lovers alike to a special concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2019, at St. David’s Episcopal Church, 1015 Old Roswell Road, Roswell, Ga. 30076. This annual Friends and Family Concert is free and open to the public, and is an opportunity for the band to thank the community for its support. The program includes Broadway favorites, jazz classics, movie scores, and more.

“This year we are especially honored to premier a new work by composer and educator Brant Karrick,” said Program Supervisor Don Nahser. “The work titled ‘If I Should Go’ is dedicated to the memory of the late Bill Haynes, who led the band for many years until his death in 2016. Dr. Karrick was Bill’s long-time friend and musical collaborator.”
