Above is a photo from a prior “Behind the Notes” event from the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. These pre-concert talks are held an hour before many performances to give audience members insights about the night’s music as well as the life of orchestra members. Above, from left, are guest Danny Elfman, an award-winning film composer who wrote a violin concerto performed by the orchestra, and conductor JoAnn Falletta, Music Director of the VSO.
