OGDEN — Chamber Orchestra Ogden is holding its annual Red Dress Concert on Saturday, playing a range of pieces and featuring the group’s performers as soloists in two of them.

The concert is sponsored by Ogden Regional Medical Center to mark American Heart Month, which is February. It begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at Peery’s Egyptian Theater, 2415 Washington Blvd. in Ogden.

Among the pieces will be the overture to Gioacchino Rossini’s popular opera “La Gazza Ladra,” or “The Thieving Magpie.” The orchestra’s principal trombonist, Kyle Larson, will be featured next in an arrangement of Alexandre Guilmant’s “Morceau Symphonique,” Op. 88.

After that, principal cellist Austin Packer will be featured in Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E. The final work will be Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 1 in B-flat, Op. 38, subtitled “Spring,” Schumann’s first completed symphonic work.
