The Albemarle Symphony Orchestra opens its fall season with an elegant and ambitious program. The string section shines in Handel’s dark and dramatic Concerto Grosso Op. 6 No. 1 in G Major, then soprano Nicole Jenkins performs a selection of arias from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and La Bohème, Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette, and more. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17., performed in honor of the people of Ukraine.
Saturday 11/11. Free (RSVP encouraged), 3:30pm. Grisham Hall, St. Anne’s Belfield, 2132 Ivy Rd. albemarlesymphony.org
