Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra based in West Windsor presents its annual holiday concert on Sunday, December 6, at 7 p.m. at Princeton Alliance Church in Plainsboro.
Orchestra members include professional musicians, high-level amateurs, university students, and gifted pre-college students. Chiu-Tze Lin is the conductor.
A community chorus of singers from area choruses and church choirs will bring selections from the Christmas section of Handel’s “Messiah.” This holiday concert will also present an all-time classic, “Carmen Fantasy” by Bizet, transcribed by Sarasate for violin solo and orchestra.
The concert program will also include Prokofiev’s “Lieutenant Kije Suite,” most famous for its “Troika” movement.
