Pops Concert at MFHS Thursday

The main attraction this year will be the performance of the musical score of a 20-minute Charlie Chaplin silent film, The Adventurer

On Thursday, the Menomonee Falls High School String Orchestra will present its Annual Pops Concert. This year’s theme is, “A Night at the Movies”.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Menomonee Falls High School Auditorium and a $2 admission fee will be charged. The orchestra is under the direction of Mr. Steven Johnson.

The main attraction this year will be the performance of the musical score of a 20-minute Charlie Chaplin silent film, "The Adventurer." As the film plays, the orchestra will perform the score originally played by a single pianist in the 1920s.
