Musical treats are in store for this concert that includes Rossini's Overture to "La Scala di Seta;" Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations; Ravel's Pavane; and Respighi's "The Birds." Senior music major cellist Alexander Fowler is featured.
The New River Valley Symphony Orchestra, a university-community orchestra, is open to students, faculty, and local community residents by audition. Since the orchestra first presented a concert on campus in 1971, it has continuously reached out to the community, providing performing opportunities for students and non-students and presenting concerts representing symphonic literature of the highest aesthetic value.
Each year the symphony presents a subscription series and a limited number of off-campus concerts. Their performances frequently highlight guest artists as featured soloists. The orchestra is under the direction of James Glazebrook.
