ANCO in Concert: Tragic Love Stories

Ars Nova Chamber Orchestra will present works by Wagner, Bizet, Faure, and Offenbach on Saturday, October 10 at 7pm at the Lyceum in Alexandria. This concert will explore several famous tragic love stories: Tristan und Isolde, Carmen, Pelléas et Mélisande, and Orpheus. WARNING: You will cry. Bring tissues.

ANCO is an innovative 30-member unconducted chamber ensemble that performs orchestral repertoire using chamber music techniques. This means the musicians take over the role of the conductor, trading and sharing leadership within each performance, players leading in turn from their own seats. The result is an invigorating and creative approach to making music, an inspiring model for collaboration, and most of all a thrilling concert experience for audiences.
