Everett Civic Music Association has announced its new season, continuing its 78-year tradition of bringing quality concerts to Snohomish County at a reasonable price of $45 for six shows.
This slate of shows includes music from the Mediterranean to the Juilliard-trained, ballet from Eugene and a musical group whose instruments have been sculpted from glass.
Everett Civic Music Association is a volunteer organization dedicated to bringing artists and entertainment to the Northwest and making them available at a price most can afford. Board members select and schedule the concerts and volunteers sell season memberships, according to the organization’s Web site.
Admission to the concerts is by season membership card only. All shows take place at Everett Civic Auditorium, 2415 Colby Ave.
Season membership for this concert series is $50 for adults and $20 for youth 18 and under. The organization is offering an early-bird special of $45 if patrons buy before June 1.

The shows this season are:
Pavlo, Sept. 13: Pavlo is a composer, guitarist and singer who has created a style best described as Mediterranean music. He mixes the sounds of Greek Bouzouki with flamenco and Latin influences and calls it a “natural progression” of combining his classical and flamenco training with his passion for Greek and European sounds.
Annie Moses Band, Oct. 25: This band is Juilliard-trained but also one big family. Lead vocalist/violinist is Annie Wolaver; she is joined by brothers Alex and Benjamin and sisters Gretchen and Camille, all of whom play various stringed instruments, and the band’s primary songsmiths, parents Bill and Robin Wolaver.
String Orchestra of New York City, Jan. 18: This is a high-energy ensemble that provides a refreshing presentation by blurring the lines between orchestral playing and chamber music with the flexibility of a string quartet while packing the punch of a full-scale orchestra.
Crystal Harmony, March 5: These musicians play an extremely fragile collection of instruments sculpted from glass. The trio’s delicate touch makes Mozart and Dvorak sound like contemporary works.
Eugene Ballet Company, April 4: This 21- member ensemble is presenting a full-length production of “Swan Lake.”
The Swingle Singers, May 9, 2009: This eight-voice a cappella group has become synonymous with great vocal blend and agility, immaculate execution and high-caliber entertainment since their 1963 album “Jazz Sebastian Bach.”
