History
This information is taken from
"Memories of Mount Dora and Lake County 1945-1981
by Dave Edgerton
From 1951- 1981, the Florida Symphony Orchestra performed annual concerts
in Mount Dora sponsored by the Mount Dora Kiwanis.
From 1977 to 1981, it seems the few remaining lovers of classical music in the Mount Dora Kiwanis transferred their efforts to have concerts each year by the Florida Symphony in the Christian Home and Bible School auditorium for school children.
The ladies of the Kiwanis who organized this event, created the Mount Dora Women's Committee of Fine Arts of Mount Dora. They declared, "the purpose of the WCFA is to encourage the appreciation and the enrichment of music, arts and dance in our community. Our fundraising activities through the year help to fund our scholarship program for the local students of the arts.
