Everett Symphony to play ‘Brandenburg’ trio

The Everett Symphony Chamber Orchestra will perform three of Johann Sebastian Bach’s six “Brandenburg Concertos,” displaying the lighter side of Bach’s genius.

The concert begins at 8 tonight at First Presbyterian Church, 2936 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

Everett Symphony conductor and music director Paul-Elliott Cobbs said it was rare to hear the entire six concertos in a series and “it will be a real treat for those who like Baroque and instrumental music. The First Presbyterian Church is the perfect setting for this.”

Featured soloists include the symphony’s Fred Chu on violin, Anne Nielsen and Lynn Douglass Nicolet playing flute, and oboe player Laurie Swanson.

The program will feature Brandenburg Concertos I, III and IV. Concertos II, V and VI will be performed in the symphony’s second chamber orchestra concert in February.

Tickets are $15, available at the Everett Symphony office, 2710 Colby Ave., Everett, online at www.everettsymphony.org or at the door.

Cascade Symphony: The first concert of Cascade Symphony’s 46th season Monday will feature the youngest principal in the history of the Seattle Symphony.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N,, Edmonds.

The Cascade Symphony is led by music director Michael Miropolsky. This concert will feature young cellist Joshua Roman in Dvorak’s Cello Concerto. The program will also include pieces by Rimsky-Korsakov and Verdi. George Shangrow, music director of Orchestra Seattle, will present a free pre-concert lecture at 6:30 p.m.

Roman was selected the new principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony last year at the age of 22, making him the youngest principal in the symphony’s history.

Tickets are $20, $15 students and seniors, at 425-776-4938, www.cascadesymphony.org, or at Edmonds Bookshop, 111 Fifth Ave. S.

Moore event: Seattle Symphony will perform Thursday to honor the long history of The Moore Theatre and to celebrate the symphony’s first home.

Seattle Theatre Group is presenting the special concert which begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at The Moore, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle. Tickets are $25 by calling 206-292- 2787, or at www.themoore.com.

Having performed at The Moore many times during its long history, Seattle Symphony will honor the grand theater in a program of symphony favorites, including Mozart’s Overture to “Le nozze di Figaro,” Stravinsky’s Suite from “Pulcinella” and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, “Italian.” Seattle Symphony associate conductor Carolyn Kuan conducts the program as part of The Moore Theatre’s centennial celebration.

Past Seattle Symphony appearances at The Moore include performances in 1908, 1910, 1911 and 1956. Seattle Symphony is in its 105th season and since 1998 has performed at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle.

Seattle Philharmonic: From Orson Welles to Alfred Hitchcock and then on to the concert hall, such is the resume of renowned film composer Bernard Herrmann, who scored “Citizen Kane” in the same year he produced his edgy “Symphony.”

And now the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra will present this rarely heard work during the season opening concert at 3 p.m. Sunday at Meany Hall on the University of Washington campus, 15th Avenue NE and NE 43rd Street.

Also, Northwest pianist Denice Grant makes a return engagement to perform the romantic Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Tickets are $18, $10 students and seniors, $45 for a family of four, available through the SPO InfoLine at 206-525-0443, through Ticketmaster at 206-628-0888 or at the door.
