Fairfax Symphony Orchestra’s season opener

Philippe Bianconi

Christopher Zimmerman leads the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra and pianist Phillipe Bianconi in a performance of Tchaikovsky's The Tempest Overture-Fantasy and Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 3, which Zimmerman says display every bit the inspiration and mastery of their better-known composition cousins Romeo and Juliet and Symphony No. 2. Also on the bill is Schumann's Piano Concerto. Saturday, Sept. 11, at 8 p.m. George Mason University Center for the Arts, 4373 Mason Pond Dr., Fairfax. Tickets are $25 to $55.
