The Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island, under the leadership of music director and conductor, Anna Edwards, will open its tenth anniversary season on October 29th & 30th with an Out of This World program of symphonic music inspired by the grandeur and mystery of outer-space. Performances will be held on October 29, 2:30 pm, Oak Harbor High School and on October 30, 2:30 pm, South Whidbey High School.
Saratoga Orchestras program will feature music from Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars in a tribute to some of todays most popular Sci-Fi movies. Also featured is American film composer Bruce Broughtons Concerto for Tuba and Orchestra with Andrew Abel, a young virtuoso player and regular member of the orchestra, as soloist. Sizzle (2000), by award-winning American composer, Margaret Brouwer, will be performed as part of a Women Philharmonic Advocacy grant.
Implemented last season, the popular pre-concert chats both days will begin at 1:45pm and feature a discussion with astronaut and Whidbey Island resident, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Captain (USN).
