The Union College and Community Orchestra, Victor Klimash conducting, will perform a concert to include works by Beethoven, Handel, Verdi and Schubert on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 8 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.

The concert is free and open to the public.

The program features Beethoven's Overture to Egmont, Op. 84; Paul Louis Abel's Elegy; Handel's Water Music Suite in D; Verdi's Prelude: Act III La Traviata; and Schubert's Symphony No. 3 in D.
