The New River Valley Symphony under the direction of James Glazebrook, will perform its winter concert on Saturday, Feb. 25, at 8 p.m. in Burruss Auditorium on the campus of Virginia Tech.
Concert-goers will be rewarded with a program that includes colorful, contrasting pieces with international appeal, including the ever popular “William Tell Overture” by Gioachino Rossini; “Quiet City” by Aaron Copland, featuring John Walker on English horn and Jason Crafton on trumpet; “Three Dance Episodes” from “On the Town” by Leonard Bernstein; “Polka and Fugue” from “Schwanda” by Jaromir Weinberger; and “Huapango” by Jose Pablo Moncayo, one of the most widely performed orchestra pieces in Mexico.
The New River Valley Symphony is a university-community orchestra with approximately 80 student, faculty, and community resident musicians selected through an audition process.
