The Cascade Symphony with music director Michael Miropolsky will present the first concert of their 45th anniversary season Monday.
This concert kicks off the symphony’s 2006-07 season in the newly renovated Edmonds Center for the Arts.
The concert will feature violinist Elisa Barston in a performance of the Concerto in G Minor for Violin and Orchestra.
Barston is acting principal second violin of the Seattle Symphony, and previously served as associate concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony. In 1986, she made her European debut with the English Chamber Orchestra at the request of Yehudi Menuhin, and she has performed as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and numerous other orchestras.
The concert will also include several favorite orchestral gems by Glinka, Dvorak, Brahms, Johann Strauss, as well as a world premier of works by Rachmaninoff and Szymanowski.
Miropolsky received his musical education in Moscow, Russia, and has been assistant principal second violin with the Seattle Symphony since 1991.
He is founder and music director of the acclaimed Seattle Violin Virtuosi and the Seattle Chamber Orchestra, and he coaches and teaches extensively. He became music director for the Cascade Symphony in the fall of 2002.
