Dr Avery Pettigrew
The Manassas Symphony, under the baton of Music Director James Villani, performs Musical Morsels — a smorgasbord of small works to delight your musical palate. The performance will be held in Merchant Hall of the Hylton Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 7:30 p. m. This musical feast includes Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and delicacies from Edvard Grieg, Jacques Offenbach, and Carl Nielsen.
The concert’s featured soloist is MSO horn player Avery Pettigrew. Dr. Pettigrew is featured in James Beckel’s concerto for horn and orchestra titled The Glass Bead Game. The piece is based on the last full-length novel written by German Nobel Prize winning author Herman Hesse. A pre-concert lecture about the novel will be given by local author and former Fairfax County Schools English teacher Dan Verner.
