Ravel & Kodaly
February 16 & 17
This vibrant program pairs two pieces by Ravel: the haunting Pavane pour une infante défunte and the sparkling Piano Concerto in G Major (with Andrew Le, piano), with Kodaly’s Variations on a Hungarian Folksong, a tour-de-force for the entire orchestra. A work by young Venezuelan composer Reinaldo Moya rounds out the program.
Meet the Symphony Musicians!
January 12 and February 2
The Symphony is proud to partner with the Virginia Discovery Museum for two programs per year entitled "Meet the Symphony Musician." On each program, orchestra members demonstrate a featured instrument and accompany a guest reader of a children’s book. Afterwards, musicians hold a petting zoo of instruments from the featured instrument’s family. Instrument families rotate on an every other year basis – strings and woodwinds one year, brass and percussion the following. These programs are free with the purchase of a Virginia Discovery Museum admission ticket.
