Titled "Chamber of Lights," the performance will begin at 7 p.m. at the Moody Concert Hall on the University of Alabama campus.

“This concert is unlike anything we’ve done before,” TSO Executive Director Natassia Perrine said. “We’re creating an intimate experience, where each piece of music feels more personal, drawing the audience into a truly immersive environment. Candlelight will illuminate the hall and heighten the emotional impact of the music, giving each performance a fresh layer of intimacy and warmth.”

The event will feature candles blended with the sounds of the chamber orchestra for an immersive experience highlighting both Baroque and contemporary pieces.

TSO said the evening will open with Handel’s "Concerto Grosso in G Major," featuring flutist Diane Boyd Schultz. This will be followed by a performance of Bach’s "Concerto for Violin and Oboe," with Levon Margaryan on violin and Mary Lindsey Bailey on oboe.

The concert will then feature Wojciech Kilar’s Orawa, followed by Edvard Grieg’s "Holberg Suite," a series of Baroque-style dance movements.
