LANCASTER — The Northern Neck Orchestra will present an autumn afternoon of glorious songs featuring works by Vivaldi, Bach, Donizetti and Clara Schumann. The recital will be held at 2 p.m. October 25, outdoors at Good Luck Cellars, 1025 Goodluck Road, Kilmarnock.

The program will be performed by a trio of exceptional musicians—soprano Jessica Noël Wakelyn, mezzo-soprano Erin Wind and pianist Hope Armstrong Erb, said the orchestra’s Eric Jacobson.

Tickets are $25 and may be purchased at www.northernneckorchesra.org or at the check-in table. 

The concert has been planned with safety in mind, Jacobson said. The performance will be held outdoors and social distancing guidelines will be observed, including spacing between the audience and the singers.

“The title of the concert, Songs of Shadow and Light, not only captures the shifting shades and colors of the season, but also evokes the contrasting voices of Jessica and Erin and the varied tones of Hope’s piano palette,” Jacobson said.

“Many of the composers on the program are familiar, while others are not, but each explores their thoughts on truth, illusion and human nature through a variety of memorable songs that will be beautifully performed,” he said.
