Called "Hope and Dreams," the concert will feature works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and more.

There will also be a performance by guest soloist Ulises Solano, a tenor who has performed all over the world, and made his debut at Lincoln Center in 2011.

Admission is free but there is a suggested donation of $10, and $5 for senior citizens and students.

The Jackson Heights Orchestra was founded in 2012 by retired assistant principal and violinist Patricia Glunt, who lives in the neighborhood.
