The Northwest Wind Symphony’s spring concert takes place at Corbet Theatre on April 14, 2018, at 7 p.m. The concert features music by Italian composers like Puccini, Rossini, and Vivaldi. We’re excited to bring Saturday’s audience several excellent guest artists!
The accomplished Angela Gilbert-Ross, W.F. West Director of Choirs, will perform “Si, mi chiamano Mimi” from Puccini’s La Boheme, and “Mattinata” by Ruggero Leoncavallo, the composer of Pagliacci. Larry Gookin, guest conductor, joins Angela for the Puccini, and also brings us Vittorio Giannini’s Symphony #3. Larry is widely respected as a Distinguished Professor and Emeritus Professor of Music at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington.
NWWS also welcomes to the stage Martin Sobelmann from Willamette Falls Symphony to conduct Rossini’s “Prise d’Erivan: Pas Redouble.” Our instrumental soloists for the evening are George Steward and Dane Hurd on piccolo trumpets for Vivaldi’s Concerto in C Major.
Don’t miss this evening of fantastic artistry and beautiful melodies. Tickets are $12 general admission at the door, or in advance from Book ‘n’ Brush in Chehalis. Student tickets are free with a paying adult. For more information, visit www.northwestwindsymphony.org.
