The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra 7:30 pm. It is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands.

Dayton Philharmonic Classical Connections: Profile, Leonard Bernstein 8 pm When he wrote Serenade, he got his inspiration from a re-reading of “Symposium,” Plato’s celebrated dialogue on the nature of love. Bernstein wrote Chichester Psalms on commission by the Dean of Chichester Cathedral in Sussex, England, who wanted a new work for a festival featuring three combined cathedral choirs. Director Neal Gittleman details the connections between these two quite different, but thoroughly enjoyable, works. Schuster Center, One W. Second St., Dayton
