FCA Frisco Spring Concert Information
ABOUT THE SPRING CONCERT
The Founders Classical Academy of Frisco Spring concert is an annual event. It affords our students the opportunity to perform as part of band or orchestra in a large auditorium setting which is a wonderful experience for them all. It provides our hard working band and orchestra directors an opportunity to show you, our families and friends at FCA Frisco, the progress our students are making. Above all, it is an opportunity for friends and family of FCA Frisco students to come together and enjoy an evening of musical entertainment.
The theme for the Spring 2020 concert is “FABulous Composers!” Our band and orchestra students will be performing pieces composed by some of the most famous classical composers of all time.
So, come and join us, Bring your family and friends, bring your cameras and video recorders and capture lasting memories of what we hope will be a very special occasion.
