Take a journey to Paris without leaving Everett

How would you like to take a quick trip tonight to Paris, the City of Lights?

You can avoid all the stress and the long security lines by showing up at Everett Civic Auditorium instead of Sea-Tac Airport, and letting the Everett Symphony whisk you off for “An Evening in Paris,” an evening of beautiful music.

With special guests the Everett Chorale and music director Lee Mathews, the symphony will transport you with “A Roman Carnival Overture” by Berlioz, “Requiem” by Faure and “Symphony No. 3” by Saint-Saens.

Andrew Kim, a senior at Everett High School, studies voice with Peggy Kurtz of Everett. He will perform a selection from “Pirates of Penzance.”

Andrew’s honor choir at Everett High School voted him its most inspirational member. As a district solo-ensemble winner, Andrew was selected to participate in the Washington state competition in Ellensburg. He has twice been a Snohomish County Music Teachers Association nonkeyboard scholarship recipient. Kim would like to travel back to Korea someday, having left at age 7.

Colleen McElroy, a senior at Arlington High School, will perform the Chaminade Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 107. Colleen has studied flute with Iris Ingram of Lake Stevens for 6½ years.

She has won first place in the SCMTA nonkeyboard scholarship competition five times, among many other honors. Colleen plays flute in the Arlington High School Wind Ensemble, lead alto saxophone in On Hold jazz band and has played in the Pit Orchestra for three years. She also studies violin with Amy Gudorf of Everett and is an honor student with a 3.99 GPA.

Carina Vincenti, 13, studies violin with Jan Coleman of Bothell and will perform the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64.

Carina is an eighth-grader at Skyview Junior High School in the Northshore School District. She has been in the Seattle Youth Symphony orchestra for several years. Besides playing the violin, Carina has been skiing since age 5 and just began snowboarding. Carina reads extensively about energy and natural conservation and studies Mandarin Chinese.

Rose Halcomb studies piano with Judy Baker of Everett and will perform the Haydn Concerto in G Major.
