Join the Virginia Symphony Orchestra (VSO) for an unforgettable Opening Weekend: Pictures at an Exhibition, marking a stunning start to the season. This musical journey through an art gallery, originally composed by Modest Mussorgsky and lushly orchestrated by Maurice Ravel, showcases the virtuosity of the orchestra in a way that's not to be missed. The event is set to take place on September 13, 2024, at 7:30 pm, under the baton of Eric Jacobsen, the VSO's twelfth Music Director.

The evening's program not only features Mussorgsky's evocative masterpiece but also includes Mason Bates’ Philharmonia Fantastique, a dazzling multimedia concerto for orchestra and animated film, and Valerie Coleman’s rousing concert opener, Fanfare for Uncommon Times. These pieces celebrate the talented VSO musicians and promise an evening of auditory splendor.

The concert will be held at the Ferguson Center for the Arts, offering a perfect setting for an evening of classical music. Whether you're a long-time classical music enthusiast or looking for an enriching cultural experience, this event promises to be a memorable highlight of the VSO’s 100th year of history.
