#ClassicsaDay #FallConcert Week 4

What's on the program for your local performing arts organization? The Classics a Day team wants to know! For the month of September, you're invited to post a work that your local symphony, chamber music ensemble, or choral society will be performing this fall.

There's a lot of great music-making going on. Let's share it all!

I live in Central Virginia, so my posts showcase concerts in that area. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and imagination of the programming. (I hope you will be, too.) Here are my posts for the fourth and final week of #FallConcert

09/26/22 Carlos Simon: The Block

The Richmond Symphony performs this work in their opening "Classics" series. The concert takes place on October 21, in Richmond, Virginia.

09/27/22 Arvo Part: Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten

This work will be performed by the Charlottesville Symphony. It will be featured in their concerts on November 11th and 13th.

09/28/22 Arvo Part: Da Pacem Domine

The Charlottesville Symphony has two Arvo Part works on its November program. The second is Da Pacem Domine, performed with the UVA University Singers. The concerts take place on November 11th and 13th.

09/29/22 Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 6 in E minor

The Richmond Symphony presents RVW's 6th Symphony in its October 25th concert. The work was programmed to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth.

Next Month: Fall Break!

Classics a Day goes on Fall Break. Monthly themes are fun but sometimes we all need a rest. So for October post any classical work you want. No theme, no pressure. Include both hashtags in your post #ClassicsaDay #FallBreak
