The Salina Symphony is putting a virtual spin on its musical offerings.

The symphony will launch its Virtual Chamber Concert Series on Sunday at 4 p.m. The first concert of the “Listen Together” series will feature the Salina Symphony Woodwind Quintet and String Quartet. The concert will be premiered and available for viewing on the Salina Symphony Facebook page.

The string program for the Sunday concert will include selections from Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 12, “American,” and “Tango Chromatique” by Michael McLean. The quintet will present two movements from “Quintet No. 3 in D minor” by Franz Danzi, “Theme for Wind Quintet” by Meri Jenkins and selections from “Woodwind Quintet No. 1” by Anthony O’Toole.

The Virtual Chamber Concert Series will feature a monthly concert on the following dates: Nov. 8, Dec. 13, Jan. 24 and Feb. 21.

Following the conclusion of the virtual series, the symphony plans to present an abbreviated concert series during the spring/summer of 2021. The symphony plans to return to the Stiefel Theatre stage on March 28 with “An Afternoon of Rodgers & Hammerstein.”
