The Alexandria Symphony Orchestra has moved audiences with interpretations of classical and contemporary masterpieces for more than a half-century. “Our City, Our Symphony” celebrates the orchestra’s ties to Alexandria with a collection of local talent exploring the works of international geniuses. The performance opens with Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture in B Minor, Op. 26, which touts foreboding and triumphant themes inspired by the dark mouth of Fingal’s Cave on Staffa, an island off the Scottish coast, and the $20 bill Mendelssohn once found there. Concertmaster Claudia Chudacoff then steps into the lead for Mozart’s Violin Concerto no. 4 in D Major, trilling through blindingly paced explorations of the scales. The program also includes a number of special-guest groups, including the Alexandria Choral Society with a performance of Bach’s Komm, Jesu, komm!, as well as the Virginia Bronze Handbell Ringers of Northern Virginia and the Heritage Signature Chorale, who will perform a world premiere of River Poem, commissioned in honor of Alexandria.

Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall & Arts Center

Inside the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall & Arts Center, works of art grow like flowers in a greenhouse. Amid the Mary Collier Baker Theater’s rich wood paneling and burgundy upholstery, symphony concerts burst to life, fed by stunning acoustics. The Margaret W. and Joseph L. Fisher Art Gallery, on the other hand, lets the work hanging on the walls do the talking, trumpeting the skills of local visionaries as they explore the bounds of aesthetic media.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing a Jersey Number

Professional athletes are faced with many difficult decisions, such as choosing to which charity to donate their entire salary or settling on a jersey number. If you get picked to play big ball with the big boys and big girls, use these helpful tips for selecting your definitive digits:

  • Choose a number that has meaning to you, such as the number of teeth inside your mouth.

  • Go with a number that gives you an interesting story to tell the sports reporters whenever they ask you "Hey champ, could you tell us why you picked that uniform number again?" This number could be the amount of people you'd kiss if you had no respect for personal boundaries.

  • Pick a random number, such as 9 or maybe even 10. It's up to you as long as it's either 9 or 10!

  • No one has ever gotten away with a three-digit number … yet.

  • Do you have a lucky number? If you don't, you should choose one now because you'll need one—most professional athletes have incredibly short careers and aren't qualified to do anything else.

Did Shaquille O'Neal choose number 32 because that was the number of teeth he had at the time? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
