#ClassicsaDay #FallConcert Week 1

What's on the program for your local performing arts organization? The Classics a Day team wants to know! For the month of September, you're invited to post a work that your local symphony, chamber music ensemble, or choral society will be performing this fall.

There's a lot of great music-making going on. Let's share it all!

I live in Central Virginia, so my posts showcase concerts in that area. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and imagination of the programming. (I hope you will be, too.) Here are my posts for the first week of #FallConcert

The Albermarle Symphony Orchestra (Charlottesville, VA) will perform this work on Nov. 19. Wanchi, Professor of Violin at James Madison University is the violin soloist.
