Northwest Symphony Orchestra’s Music for the Soul Concert 2018

NWSO-header-logo.png

March-2018-graphic.jpg

Saturday, March 17th, 8:00pm
Holy Rosary Catholic Church

Northwest Symphony Orchestra continues its season with a performance on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at 8:00pm at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in West Seattle. This concert is part of the annual “Music for the Soul” series begun by the Northwest Symphony Orchestra several years ago.

Soprano soloist for this concert, Alexandra Picard is one of the most versatile sopranos in the Northwest. Most notable for her portrayals of the Queen of the Night, Konstanze, Musetta and Lucia, the Seattle Times speaks of her “bell-like clarity” while Classical Voice comments on her “charisma and spot-on singing” and, of her performances of La Bohème, the Everett Herald comments that she “makes a big impression … and knocks it out of the ballpark.”

“This concert is one of the most poignant and profound concerts in our history – to hear Gorecki’s Symphony #3 performed live is a must do at least once in your lifetime, and we hope that you don’t miss this opportunity to experience it.​”
