SEE EMILY PLAY

THE BELLE OF AMHERST In her lifetime, iconoclastic poet Emily Dickinson (1830-’86) saw fewer than of a dozen of her works published, but during that short span, she’d penned a staggering 1,800 poems. In her wake, countless poets, writers and artists of all sorts have been influenced by her singular skills in finding the mystical in the mundane, and capturing universal insights. Sinda Nichols reprises her role in William Luce’s one-woman play The Belle of Amherst, which celebrates the enigmatic American poet. 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7 and 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 8, Amelia Musical Playhouse, Fernandina Beach, $20; proceeds benefit Friends of the Library, ameliamusicalplayhouse.com. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • Jan. 4-10, 2017

SERIOUS CLASSICAL CHOPS

ANTHONY McGILL Celebrated clarinetist Anthony McGill has some heavy bona fides. As the principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic, McGill, one of the few African-American musicians to hold such a position in any symphony, is also an instructor at the Peabody Institute. The Chicago native, along with Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Gabriela Montero, performed John Williams’ original composition, Air and Simple Gifts, for President Barack Obama’s ’09 inauguration. Now McGill is joining forces with the Jacksonville Symphony for Mozart and McGill, a program featuring works by Beethoven, Mozart and Sibelius. Symphony in 60 concert (featuring only Mozart’s works) is 6:30 p.m. (free drinks at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.) Thursday, Jan. 5, $35; full program is 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7, Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts’ Jacoby Symphony Hall, Downtown, $27-$77, jaxsymphony.org.
