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.
