The Virée Classique welcomes back the Ensemble Obiora for a musical escapade to the Age of Enlightenment. Violinists Andrew Wan and Tanya Charles Iveniuk will strike up a dialogue in the Symphonie concertante by the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a hugely successful composer in the court of Marie-Antoinette.
