Spring Concerts with Music from Europe and the British Isles

Friday May 9th and Saturday May 10th, 7pm

Admission by donation- doors open at 6:30– Methow Valley Community Center

Cascadia Music presents the Annual Spring Concert: This year’s theme is Music from Europe and the British Isles. The Concert features the Pipestone Orchestra, the Cascadia Chorale under the direction of Terry Hunt and the Pipestone Youth Orchestra under the direction of Pam Hunt. 

Terry says the concert is a delightful mix of familiar and not so familiar works including selections from Bizet’s Carmen, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera and Brahms Hungarian Dance no.5. Other pieces include Gabriel Faure’s Elegy for Solo Cello and Orchestra with Pam Hunt as the soloist.

The Pipestone Youth Orchestra, directed by Pam Hunt, will open the show with a Ukranian Folk Song.

Congratulations to Emilia Rotstan, the 11 year old winner of this year’s Christine Cherrington Merit Award! Emilia will play a movement from J.S. Bach’s Concerto in A minor.

In the Hall of the Mountain King from Grieg’s Peer Gynt and Nella Fantasia from the movie The Mission add another dramatic and theatrical aspect to the concert. The Parting Glass, a beautiful Scottish Song and the salsa infused Sway will finish the evening on an upbeat and positive note.
