Poems: Prophetic and Pastoral

Saturday, February 9 – 7:30 pm
Sunday, February 10 – 3:00 pm

Foster Performing Arts Center
4242 South 144th Street, Tukwila

Our second Classics Concert this season features music that aligns with literary and visual art forms. Consisting of 3 tone poems, the bulk of this concert is meant to depict pastoral scenes from the countryside, commentary on political revolutions, and an existential view of the journey from birth to death. Also on this program our principal oboist, Michael Melnick, will step out of the wind section to solo on Vaughan-Williams’ pastoral Oboe Concerto in A minor.

Smetana The Moldau

I’ll be in Spokane, WA October 11th for a concert with the Spokane New Music Ensemble. The theme is New Music in Old Homes–a pastiche of old and new. I’ll be playing oboe music from the Baroque, as well as a new composition for oboe and electronics. And there will be additional new electronic music (without oboe, but just as good, I promise). Check it out: tickets are currently $12, at the door $15. Seating is limited. More info at: http://www.facebook.com/spokanenewmusic
