AWC Music Department hosts Faculty Concert

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Arizona Western College (AWC) Music Department faculty hosted a concert Sunday evening.

The concert took place at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, located at the corner of 14th Ave and 16th Street, at 5:00 p.m.

Musical pieces the band played included Franz Danzi's "Sonata No. 3 for Two Cellos" and Johann Sebastian Bach's "French Suite No. 3 in B Minor."

Margaret Fenske, an adjunct string faculty member, said the concert is to help those interested in classical music.

"We don't have a lot of tradition of classical music here [in Yuma], and we're trying to change that. We're trying to build a chamber music program, an opportunity to let students see what they might be able to do in a few years. So we are trying to be an inspiration to our students wherever they are," Fenske explained.

The concert lasted until 7:00 p.m., but if you missed Sunday's concert, there will be another concert performance at the church on Sunday, March 2.
