The Nashville Concerto Orchestra is a new ensemble made up of musicians of various experience levels, all pitching in to give local players a chance to perform concertos. Founder Roger Weismeyer modeled it on a group in San Francisco, and the premise is simple: Whether they’re pros or amateurs, instrumentalists who play four concerts in a supporting role earn the opportunity to become a featured soloist. The group’s first concert is at noon Saturday at Edgehill United Methodist Church. Members of the group brought a single concerto from that program to discuss and perform in Studio C.

Set list:

• Zach Casebolt, principal violin
• David Davidson, violin
