The Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra’s annual Cabaret and Cocktails concert is set to return later this month — but those who want to go may want to act soon.
The annual concert typically sells out, so those planning to attend should buy their ticket — starting at $45 — “early,” according to a news release from the orchestra.
This year’s concert hosted by the symphony orchestra will be on Jan. 26 at the Williamsburg Lodge and feature pianist Tony DeSare’s “I Love a Piano” show.
This will be the last Cabaret and Cocktails conducted by Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra music director Janna Hymes.
The Cabaret and Cocktails program was introduced by Hymes, who will step down from the position at the end of this season.

Hymes has led the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra since 2004.
On Jan. 26, concert-goers can accompany DeSare on a “journey” celebrating “piano legends” that became the cornerstone of pop music. The concert will end with Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue.”
The audience can also expect pieces from piano legends such as Elton John, Ray Charles and John Lennon.
DeSare has performed throughout North America and internationally, and has been featured on the CBS Early Show, NPR, A Prairie Home Companion and Today Show.
“We are more than excited to have amazing Tony DeSare perform his ‘I Love a Piano’ concert with us at Cabaret and Cocktails,” Hymes said. “DeSare has been acclaimed by the New York Times as ‘a lean baby Sinatra with burning brown eyes and flashing teeth,’ and his vocal and keyboard talents are sure to delight everyone.”
Tickets may be purchased online on the Williamsburg Syphmony Orchestra website.
