The four-concert series will begin in October and feature ‘Jefferson in his Own Words,’ a commissioned work by University of Virginia composer Judith Shatin. The piece is for narrator and orchestra. The October concert will also include Beethoven’s Violin Concerto performed by Virginia Symphony Orchestra concert master Vahn Armstrong. The remaining three concerts will be held in December, February and March. The December concert will include a performance of Handel’s Messiah. The February Concert will feature works by Mozart and Dvorak and the final concert in March will include a performance of Mozart’s Coronation Mass.
