For the first time ever as “guest artist” with the Virginia Symphony, JoAnn Falletta takes to the stage with her guitar, joined by our own Beverly Baker on viola in an elegant program of Ravel, Vivaldi and Strauss. An evening you want to experience!
Orchestra and voice unite for a profound performance of French composer Gabriel Fauré’s ethereal Requiem. One of the most popular settings of the Requiem Mass, it is the composer’s hymn to his “aspiration towards the happiness of the hereafter, rather than as a painful passing away.
Conductor: JoAnn Falletta
Guest Artist: Virginia Symphony Chorus
