The Moore Philharmonic Orchestra will hold its seventh annual winter concert at the Carolina Hotel at the Pinehurst resort Sunday, Dec. 18, at 3 p.m.

The hotel is located at 80 Carolina Vista Drive, in Pinehurst.

"No tickets are required, but tax-deductible donations are always welcome," says a spokesman.

Proceeds will support a scholarship fund benefiting Moore County music students and will help cover operating and general expenses for the orchestra.

Since 2005, the orchestra has served the Sandhills community supporting music appreciation and education. It provides an outlet for approximately 50 volunteer musicians to perform varied programs of orchestral literature.

Members include adults and talented college, high school and middle school students. It is a nonprofit organization and relies entirely on individual and business contributions to cover operating and general expenses and to support a scholarship fund benefiting Moore County music students.
