The concert was terrific. The SChlesinger theater is a good size--every seat is a good seat. The Alexandria Symphony Orchestra was surprisingly good. We'll definitely go again.
We really enjoyed the concert, especially the arrangements of "Winter."

My husband and I enjoyed the Winter Concert very much. The conductor of the Alexandria Symphony is enthusiastic and energetic, bringing out the best in the orchestra. His comments prior to paying enhanced the performance. I would recommend the Alexandria Symphony to all classical music lovers in the area. The Concert Hall is a pleasant venue and easily accessible.
