Barton Community College’s String Ensemble performed holiday music last Friday at the Great Bend Senior Center. Conductor Jamie Minneman joined the guitar ensemble, which also performed. There are no orchestra classes until spring, so the string ensemble was created to give those students a chance to play music in a chamber ensemble setting. They will also perform at the Dec. 4 concert in Barton’s Fine Arts Auditorium.
