The Penfield Symphony Orchestra, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching the Rochester community for over 60 years, will present “Caramia and Rodgers: Our Favorite Valentines,” the third concert of its 64th season. Commencing with local composer Verne Reynolds’ rarely-heard Celebration Overture, the concert then features local Eastman faculty jazz pianist Tony Caramia, presenting American female composer Dana Suesse’s jazz nocturne Afternoon of a Black Faun, her romantic piece My Silent Love, and her energetic Jazz Concerto in D. The second half is a symphonic celebration of the popular, tuneful music of Richard Rodgers (Oklahoma!, The King and I, Victory at Sea, South Pacific.)
