The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents the New River Valley Symphony Orchestra in concert on Thursday, February 2, 2017 and Friday, February 3, 2017 at 7:30 pm each night. 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.
