Wiley’s concert at the lake

More than 300 guests turned out for a concert on Aug. 23 featuring David Stewart Wiley, conductor of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Joining Wiley for the performance “Bach to the Future,” hosted by the Smith Mountain Arts Council at Resurrection Catholic Church in Moneta, were Julee Hickcox on flute, John Smith on bass and Al Wojtera on percussion. The quartet performed 19 numbers, making a classical connection from baroque to Billy Joel.
