The Marine Chamber Orchestra's 2017 concert opener will take place at 2 p.m., Jan. 29, at Northern Virginia Community College's Schlesinger Center in Alexandria, Va. The orchestra celebrates the 300th anniversary of one of George Frideric Handel’s most renowned instrumental works. Written at the request of King George I who wished for music to accompany a cruise on the River Thames in the heart of London, Handel created a set of suites that became some of the most well-known Baroque music. The concert will also feature Ned Rorem’s duet for clarinet and violin titled Water Music, as well as John Knowles Paine’s Poseidon and Amphitrite; An Ocean Fantasy, Opus 44. The concert is free and no tickets are required.
