On Sept. 11, the Effingham Community Orchestra will perform a concert dedicated to our heroes, our survivors, our strength and to the ones we have lost. It will be live streamed from the sanctuary of Rincon United Methodist Church beginning at 7 p.m.

The orchestra, under the direction of Charles Patterson, is composed of members from the community representing all walks of life, students through retirees, who all have an enduring love of music and a desire to share it with these performances. 

The performance will be carried on the YouTube channel and can be watched by following this link:  https://tinyurl.com/ecoSept11.  

There will be very limited seating at the church due to Covid-19 safety measures.  Masks are mandatory for all attendees.
