Cascade orchestra offers discount for 2016-17 season

EDMONDS — Cascade Symphony Orchestra has announced its 2016-17 season.

Those who buy their season tickets by June 1 will receive a discount.

The season begins Oct. 24 with “Opening Night — with a Bit of Halloween” featuring soloist Yuka Sasaki in the Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major. The orchestra will begin with the overture to Lehar’s “The Merry Widow” and continue in a seasonal theme with the Skeleton Dance from “Danse Macabre” by Saint-Saens, “Night on Bald Mountain” by Mussorgsky, and Ravel’s “Bolero.”

The “Holiday Pops” concert will be offered Dec. 11 and 12. Pieces will include excerpts from “The Nutcracker,” Strauss waltzes, light selections by Leroy Anderson, a holiday sing-along and the now-familiar Chanukah Medley. Maestro Michael Miropolsky also will be featured on violin.

The season continues Jan. 9 with Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony, the “Pathetique.” French horn soloist Jeffrey Fair will perform the “Morceau de Concert” by Saint-Saens and Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-flat Major. The concert also includes “The Iron Foundry” by Mosolov.

On March 13, CSO will present “A Violin Festival,” introducing the 2015 winners of the Seattle Music Teachers Association Simon-Fiset String Competition in various violin virtuoso pieces. The orchestra will also play Dvorak’s 6th Symphony in D minor.

Finally, “Pictures at an Exhibition” will be performed May 8. In addition to the title work by Mussorgky, the program includes “Marche Slave” by Tchaikovsky. Meeka Quan DiLorenzo will be the cello soloist in the Haydn C Major Cello Concerto.

Season tickets are $110 general admission and $90 for seniors, with prices increasing to $115 and $95 after June 1.

Concerts are presented at Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N. in Edmonds. Ticket information is available at cascadesymphony.org or ec4arts.org or call the ECA box office at 425-275-9595.

The 2017 Children’s Concert on Feb. 11 will include “The Tortoise and The Hare,” narrated by Dave Dolacky, as well as the popular Cascade Percussion Ensemble and a performance by a young Rising Star.
