It’s fall and it’s time for The Charlottesville Band to return to PVCC’s Dickinson Theatre for its 101st Season Fall Concert on October 22 at 3:30 PM. The afternoon show will feature selection of light classical, popular, and jazz pieces, as well as Franz Doppler’s Andante and Rondo for Two Flutes, featuring guest soloists Angela Kelly and Christine Steele.
