GOSHEN, Ind. — A Franconia Conference native is participating in the Goshen College Orchestra during the fall semester, under the direction of Associate Professor of Music John Graulty.

The Goshen College Orchestra is a group that varies in size and repertoire, from chamber orchestra to full philharmonic dimensions. Formed in the 1950s, it has actively performed standard symphonic repertoire ever since. The group presents concerts of major orchestral works each semester. In addition, it accompanies the choirs, operas and student winners of the Concerto-Aria Competition.
