A group of singers who banded together to start a local chorus in 1966 has kept the vision alive for decades as The Oratorio Society of Virginia. Together in Song: Music from the Theatre spotlights seasoned soprano singer Madeline Coffey (no stranger to performing in the area) as soloist, and includes works from musical theater and opera, ranging from Wagner to Sondheim, and Verdi to Rodgers and Hammerstein. The concert is preceded by a masterclass with Music Director Michael Slon that’s open to community members.
$10-$20, 4pm. First Presbyterian Church, 500 Park St. oratoriosociety.org.
