Dana Mengel's new composition about famed aviator Amelia Earhart will be performed at First Christian Church on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 4 pm.

The five-movement composition Inspired by Amelia will be performed by the Amazing Strings Ensemble. The ensemble includes talented area musicians including flautist Alexander Alejandre.

This is a dress rehearsal for a Sept. 21 performance at the Amelia Earhart Hanger Museum in Atchison, Ks.

Mengel is a church member and was seriously injured earlier this early in a car accident. The hope is Dana will be able to attend the local performance.
