If Sunday afternoon, wine and chamber music sound like a good time to you, head over to the Sheraton Read House this Sunday.
The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera is kicking off a four-concert series this week with “A Chamber Noel.”
IF YOU GO* What: “A Chamber Noel.”* When: 3 p.m. Sunday.* Where: Sheraton Read House, Silver Ballroom, 827 Broad St.* Admission: $15.* Phone: 267-8583.* Website: www.chattanoogasymphony.org.
Under the baton of CSO musical director Robert Bernhardt, 32 CSO musicians will perform four selections of classical holiday music: Arcangelo Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto,” Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Fantasia on Greensleaves,” Richard Wagner’s “Siegfried Idyll” and Ottorino Respighi’s “Trittico Botticelliano.”
The last movement of the Corelli work, Bernhardt said, ends with a pastoral, atmospheric movement that reflects the peaceful setting of winter. “It is supposed to represent the Nativity.”
