A Musical Voyage Around the World
Dear Friends and Supporters of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra:
Welcome to the Rosemary A. C. Gottlieb 2017-18 Season of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra, A Musical Voyage Around the World! Each of the six concerts on our YAKIMA VALLEY CLASSICAL SERIES will focus on a different country or region. We begin in the classical music capital of the world, Vienna, with The Austrian Empire. This program will feature music by Mozart, Schubert and Brahms, all of whom were either born in or ended
up in Vienna. On Veterans Day, we honor our beloved country and all of our veterans with The American Dream. The concert will be filled with patriotic surprises and will include Gershwins Porgy and Bess as well as a piece called Ellis Island: The Dream of America by Peter Boyer. This piece for actors and orchestra takes memoirs of actual Ellis Island immigrants from several different countries and sets them to music in a very moving and inspiring way. South of the Border will include music from Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and Argentina and will feature guest violinist David Kim, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, performing The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires by the great tango composer Astor Piazzolla. On St. Patricks Day, we will present a Celtic Celebration. In addition to Mendelssohns classic Symphony No. 3, the Scottish, we will present living Irish composer Shaun Daveys The Brendan Voyage. This is an epic work for bagpiper and orchestra that retells the ancient legend of 6th-century Irish Saint Brendans crossing of the Atlantic to the Americas in a leather kayak. When in Rome features two masterworks by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, The Pines of Rome and The Fountains of Rome. It also will include pieces written by non-Italians while on holiday in Italy. Specifically, we will perform Tchaikovskys Capriccio italien and Mendelssohns Piano Concerto No. 1 featuring the Italian pianist Roberto Plano, Gold Medal Winner of the Cleveland International Piano Competition. We will conclude the Classical Series with Back in the U.S.S.R. This program will include Shostakovichs brilliant Symphony No. 5 and will feature the Yakima Symphony Chorus; Justin Raffa, chorusmaster, on Prokofievs Alexander Nevsky. This is one of the very few film scores that have found a permanent place in the standard orchestral repertoire.
Our five-concert GILBERT ORCHARDS POPS SERIES will be filled with excitement and variety. We start with a Mexican Celebration featuring one of the premiere Mariachi bands of the world, Mariachi Champaa Nevn. We will then present our traditional family-style Halloween Spooktacular. Everyone is encouraged to come in costume and join in the fun. We will share the stage with the Yakima Symphony Chorus for our annual Holiday Pops Spectacular, this year featuring the Yakima Childrens Choir. In February, we explore The Magical Music of Harry Potter as we perform highlights from each of the eight films in the iconic series. Come dressed as your favorite Harry Potter character! Finally, we close out the Pops Series with Classical Night Fever. Pull out your polyester and platform shoes for this exhilarating journey through some of the top disco hits of the 1970s with the ultimate disco tribute band, Motor Booty Affair!
We are very excited about this season and look forward to having you join us on A Musical Voyage Around the World!

On the front cover: From Here to Eternity by Alfredo Arregun Seattle, WashingtonMy canvases are tapestries that blend diverse elements from many different sources:
the traditional crafts from Mexico; the lush rainforests of my homeland and other parts of the Americas; the landscape and natural life of the Pacific Northwest; Japanese prints; sacred and
endangered animals; gods and totemic figures; cultural and historical icons; and motifs that include eyes, masks and ceramic tiles. From Here to Eternity, the image chosen by the Yakima Symphony Orchestra to accompany this seasons theme, A Musical Voyage Around the World, is part of my celebration of the Pacific Northwest landscape while also continuing my portrayal of the clash between civilization and Mother nature, between the man-made world, and the natural realm.
