Cascade Symphony Orchestra will perform season finale Monday

EDMONDS — Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, presents its season finale on Monday.

“Dvorak, The Legend” begins at 7:30 p.m. May 11 at the Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N., Edmonds.

Tickets for Cascade’s concerts notoriously sell out early, but often tickets can be had on the evening of the concert. Season ticket holders are urged to turn in their tickets if they don’t plan to attend. Stop by the box office or call 425-275-9595 about an hour before the concert to pick up stray tickets.

KING-FM radio celebrity Dave Beck, a cellist, plans to present a pre-concert lecture about the program at 6:30 p.m.

The program begins with the “Academic Festival Overture” by Brahms.

Then, soprano saxophone solost Michael Brockman will play the Villa-Lobos “Fantasia for Soprano Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra.”

Brockman joined the faculty of the University of Washington School of Music in 1987. He earned a doctorate in musical arts from the UW, a master of music degree with distinction from the New England Conservatory in Boston and a bachelor of music degree from Lewis and Clark College. He also attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and the Musikhochschule in Cologne, Germany.

Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod from “Tristan und Isolde” also is on the program.

The concert concludes with Czech composer Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 7 in D minor debuted 130 years ago in London. Some consider it to be his finest work.
