Kick Off the Concert Season with the Sammamish Symphony

With a nod to all things theater and the start of a year-long celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, the Sammamish Symphony and music director and conductor Adam Stern kick off the orchestra’s 2019-2020 concert season this fall. An Evening at the Theater brings together three major theatrical works — by Lerner and Loewe, Henrik Ibsen and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe — via their scores and is sure to delight audiences of all ages. The many fine tunes from Camelot, the Lerner and Loewe’s musical that featured Richard Burton and Julie Andrews in its first-ever cast, are heard in a splendid orchestral medley arranged by Robert Russell Bennett. Edvard Grieg's immortal music for Ibsen's Peer Gynt is represented by a suite culminating in the ever-terrifying In the Hall of the Mountain King. And Beethoven's incidental music for Goethe's Egmont, known almost exclusively by its rousing overture, is presented in its entirety with narration and solo voice performed by the respective talents of Terry Edward Moore and Laura Loge.

An Evening at the Theater takes place Sunday, October 20, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at Eastlake Performing Arts Center at Eastlake High School, 400 228th Ave NE in Sammamish, under the baton of guest conductor Gabriela Garza Canales, and Friday, November 1, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. at Meydenbauer Center Theatre, 11100 NE 6th Street in Bellevue, under the leadership of the orchestra’s music director and conductor Adam Stern. Ticket prices are $10-$20 depending on age and on sale now through Brown Paper Tickets or available at the door. For more information, visit SammamishSymphony.org.
