Symphony has new conductor, big ambitions

This season, GFU hired conductor Paul Featherstone to lead the symphony. It holds its first seasonal concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at Bauman Auditorium and will feature a sampling of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Mozart’s Flute overtures.

“I’m a classical musician by major, but I also enjoy ministry... I’m an ordained minister,” said Featherstone about the combo of music and Christian education. “George Fox is a synthesis of those two worlds.”
