SALISBURY — FirstARTS Concert for Community Collaboration will have a free concert at 5 p.m. Sunday at First United Methodist Church of Salisbury.

The fundraiser benefits Rowan Helping Ministries and will feature organist Matthew Michael Brown, who has served as director of music and organist of First United Methodist since 2008. He is the artistic director and founder of the FirstARTS Concert Series and oversees the Stanback Department of Sacred Music.

Brown will be joined by members of the North Carolina Symphony and Charlotte Symphony orchestras, including harpist Bonnie Bach, Charlotte Symphony concertmaster Calin Lupanu, and trumpeters Paul Neebe and Alex Fioto.

A reception will follow in the Carter Lobby. The concert is open to the public.

The FirstARTS concert series links the music program of First United Methodist Church to the community and beyond. The series began in 2008 and has hosted nationally acclaimed artists from New York, Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, and North Carolina. The series is funded by members of the church.

FirstARTS Concert for Collaboration also began in 2008 as an outreach to local charitable organizations. The first concert benefited Glenn Kiser Hospice House, and subsequent concerts have supported Food for Thought, Rowan Care Alliance, Family Crisis Council, One Church One Child and others.

Through the concert series to date, more than $100,000 has been raised for local charities.

Sunday’s music will include an array of pieces for solo organ, including such favorites as “Toccata” from Charles-Marie Widor’s Symphony No. 5, Antonio Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Two Trumpets,” Marcel Grandjany’s “Aria in Classic Style” for organ and harp, and other pieces by William Harris, Maurice Duruflé, and Josef Rheinberger.

Fioto is the principal trumpeter of the North Carolina Opera and performs regularly with the North Carolina Symphony. He has performed with the Detroit, Charleston , Charlotte, Ann Arbor and Virginia symphony orchestras and has appeared as principal trumpet of the San Antonio Symphony.

He holds degrees from the Juilliard School and Catholic University of America. He has taught at the University of Virginia, James Madison University, Elon University and Summer University in Bayreuth, Germany.

Born in Timisoara, Romania, Lupanu is concertmaster of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
