You’ve still got a chance to catch the Cascade Symphony as it closes out its current season with a performance of Brahms’ “Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor.”
Featured performers for this concert will be concertmaster James Garlick and San Francisco Symphony assistant principal cellist Amos Yang.
Yang, a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York, was a cellist with the Seattle Symphony for five years before moving to the San Francisco Symphony.
Longtime local concertgoers may recall Yang’s breathtaking performance in 2004 with the Cascade Symphony when he played the Elgar cello concerto. He returned two years later to perform the Boccherini cello concerto.
Garlick has been Cascade’s concertmaster since the 2007 season. He was most recently featured in a performance of Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Two Violins.” In the 2008 season, Garlick performed the Bach “Double Concerto for Two Violins.” Garlick is a 2006 graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory, where he was frequently concertmaster of the Oberlin Orchestra and Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble. Garlick also earned a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Oberlin College, and maintains an interest in the neurobiology of music.
In addition to the Brahms, the Cascade Symphony will also perform “Peer Gynt Suite No. 1” by Grieg and “The Comedians” by Kabalevsky.
Music director Michael Miropolsky completes his eighth season with Cascade Symphony. 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 Seattle Violin Virtuosi and the Seattle Chamber Orchestra.
