The will be held at the Brecksville United Methodist Church at 7:30p.m. on Saturday. Everyone is welcome free of charge.

The Brecksville United Methodist Church can host the concerts for free due to some successful fundraisers. The fundraiser for the concert series for this year was an evening of music and Salsa dancing.

"The music board conducts the fundraiser independently from the church," Fenton said.

This is just one of the performances in this concert series. There will be a variety of music and something for all ages to enjoy. 

"The concerts are a wonderful opportunity to bring high caliber music to the community," Fenton said.

The concert series is in its third year and continues to grow.

"The music director, Joy Fenton, looks for music groups to come every year," Office Manager Melanie Smith said.

She, with the assistance of the music board, then decides on who will perform in the concert series.
