In which the viola gets its due ...

Alas, the viola, always playing second fiddle (so to speak) to its smaller sister, the violin. This writer however, really likes the sound the viola ... a little more Alison Moyet and a little less Kate Bush.

Here's a great example of what a viola can do. This weekend, the viola gets its due in the Bloomsburg University-Community Orchestra concert Sunday, Nov. 13, at 2:30 p.m., in Haas Center for the Arts, Mitrani Hall.

Violinist Flavia Pisco and violist Renata Ribeiro will be featured. On the program: Delius’ Florida Suite and Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante. And it's a cheap date. Admission is free.
