MAUMEE — First Presbyterian Church of Maumee is offering its fifth program in a series of afternoon recitals on Feb. 17 at 1 p.m., with a program featuring instrumental music graduate students from Bowling Green State University.

Th students will present a program titled “Projections: Reflections in Front and Shadows Behind.”

The concert will feature a mix of musical works from the classical era and from most recent years as a mini-survey of classical music across time.
