The leaves are turning - which must mean it's time for the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra to begin its concert season at Massey Theatre.
This Sunday afternoon, conductor and musical director Jin "Jack" Zhang is presenting a classical pops concert of popular favourites that include Giuseppe Verdi's La Forza del Destino Overture; Romanian Dances by the Hungarian composer Bla Bartok; a work by Russian master Dmitri Shostakovich and some well-known ballet music from Coppelia by Lo Delibes.
According to local arts promoter Tony Antonias, Coppelia is sometimes referred to as "The Girl with Enamel Eyes" - a girl deceiving a toy maker into thinking she is one of his own dolls come to life.
This opening concert of the season for the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra takes place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13 at Massey Theatre.
Admission is by donation.
