The program will also feature Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, as well as Felix Mendelssohn’s mysterious and captivating Hebrides Overture, also known as “Fingal’s Cave.” A horn quartet will offer pre-concert music in the lobby beginning at 1:15 p.m. The concert, which is free, will take place at Northern Virginia Community College's Schlesinger Concert Hall in Alexandria.

Marine Band Concert: My Hands Are a City - Sunday, Jan. 13 at 2 p.m. - Jonathan Newman’s Symphony No. 1, My Hands Are a City is a musical depiction of the nation, specifically New York, through the lens of mid-20th century “beat” artists. The historic city of Vienna inspired Franz von Suppé’s Overture, depicting scenes throughout the day in this musical gem. British composer Adam Gorb’s Adrenaline City Overture is inspired by 21st century life in London, both stressful and vibrant, while Aaron Copland’s Quiet City displays the moments of solitude and quiet that inhabitants are capable of stealing away during a late night in the city. A string quartet will offer pre-concert music in the lobby beginning at 1:15 p.m. The concert, which is free, will take place at Northern Virginia Community College's Schlesinger Concert Hall in Alexandria.
