2022-2023 Concert Season
In a program of considerable variety, the Sammamish Symphony opens its 2022-23 season with music from three different centuries and five different countries. Joseph Haydn's Overture to an English Opera kicks off a concert combining music for the stage, the screen, and the concert-hall. Guitarist Michael Partington is the soloist in Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto No. 1, a work written for the legendary Andrés Segovia. We also celebrate the 150th anniversary of the great English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams with a performance of his Two Hymn-Tune Preludes. Rarities by Morton Gould and Emil Hartmann round out this gala season opener.
The Sammamish Symphony continues its tradition of festive holiday programs with a blend of music for the season, beloved classical bonbons, and some jolly surprises. Come and celebrate the joys of the season by giving yourself the gift of live music!
IEver since its 1928 premiere, Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera has been one of the most oft-performed works of 20th century musical theater. We present an instrumental suite from this timeless masterpiece, which includes its most famous song, Mack the Knife. The concert is rounded out by music of the Italian Baroque (Locatelli), the early Romantic period (Schubert), and the music of old Vienna (Josef Strauss). The concert concludes with two effervescent and lighthearted suites by Igor Stravinsky.
The first of the Three B's, and a perpetual nominee for Greatest Composer of All Time, Johann Sebastian Bach continues to inspire musicians and audiences with the power, the beauty, and the sheer technical brilliance of his music. Join us as we present a wide-ranging concert of Bach's works in several forms. The Sammamish Symphony's principal flute, Melissa Underhill, will be featured in a performance of Bach's Sonata in E minor in a new transcription for flute and orchestra.
The Sammamish Symphony ends its 2022-23 season with a program comprised of works by the three greatest composers of the Classical period. Mozart's overture to his early opera Lucio Silla, essentially a mini-symphony, provides the introduction to Beethoven's vivacious Piano Concerto No. 2 with guest soloist Laure Struber. The concert concludes with one of Haydn's magnificent late symphonies, No. 90 in C Major.
