The concert will include classics such as:
Dance of the Furies from Orfeo ed Euridice, Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787); Pirates of the Caribbean, Hans Zimmer (1957-); Moon River, Henry Mancini (1924-1994); Pink Panther and a Rock Song Book to include the Beatles, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.

Tickets can be purchased when the doors open at the First United Methodist Church, 925 N. F Street, Lompoc at 6:45 pm.
The concert will begin at 7:30pm. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for active duty military and $5 for students. For more information call 805-588-5971, visit www.lompocconcert.org, or check Facebook and Instagram.
