HAMPTON ROADS — With five performances across Hampton Roads during Opening Weekend Sept. 12-14, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra begins its 105th season with a flourish.
Performances include Coffee Concert: Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony + Cellist Jan Vogler and Schubert’s Cello Quintet. This season marks the fifth season for Music Director Eric Jacobsen, The Macon and Joan Brock Chair.
“I am honored to start my fifth season as Music Director with Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony,” said Jacobsen. “This piece takes audiences on an emotional journey through the joys and triumphs of life, but also the struggles and woes. I also can’t wait to play Schubert’s Cello Quintet alongside my dear friend Jan Vogler and the amazing VSO musicians in an intimate space that lets the music resonate in ways our audiences haven’t experienced yet from the VSO. I cannot think of a better way to kick off our 105th season with all of Hampton Roads.”
