This weekend marks the opening of the 20th season for the Chamber Music Society of Central Virginia. I recently caught up with Artistic Director James Wilson to preview the first concert of this special season.
"The House of Handel" kicks things off with a "Baroque flourish," as CMSCVA celebrates the music of George Frideric Handel, inspired by the "Messiah." The program will take the listener through an emotional musical playlist that includes the world premiere of a new work by Richmond's own Zachary Wadsworth.
The concert will take place Sunday, September 15th at 4pm in the Church of the Holy Comforter on Monument Avenue in Richmond.
Yours in good music,
