Academy Chamber Orchestra will some to Orcas Island to perform on Saturday, April 2
Next Saturday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m. marks the return engagement of the premier youth chamber orchestra in the Norwest, the Academy Chamber Orchestra directed by Alan Futterman, music director of the Bremerton Symphony and the Peninsula Ballet Orchestra.
The ACO wowed Orcas audiences in 2010 with its musical excellence, passion and virtuosity and its superb young soloists. The Orchestra members, ages 13 to 21 are some of the most gifted young musicians in the region and have won numerous awards and honors on their respective instruments. The Orchestra’s graduates routinely receive multiple acceptances from major schools and have gone on to attend the Curtis Institute, Manhattan School of Music, The Juilliard School, The Cleveland Institute, and the Peabody Conservatory. They return to Orcas Center with an exciting program of “Sacred Music Through the Centuries” which includes well known works by Mozart, Stravinsky and others.
This presentation is made possible with generous support from Bob Lundeen.
Tickets are specially priced at $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased on the website or by calling or visiting the Orcas Center box office during box office hours which are Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon- 4 pm.
