Sammamish Symphony presents Northern Lights
Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? They dance and
shimmer in the night sky at northern latitudes and viewers see amazing colors
in the sky. The Sammamish Symphony presents Northern Lights in February
and you will be able to visualize the shimmering colors as you listen to the
music.
Scandinavia is home to a rich musical history, and this concert includes
Romantic era composers from three Nordic lands – Sweden’s Hugo Alfvén, Norway’s
Edvard Grieg, and Finland’s Jan Silbelius. Each work on our program displays a
distinctive style and attachment to the composer’s homeland. This concert
introduces our audience to Sibelius’s youthful First Symphony – the first in
the composer’s towering and highly personal symphonic legacy.
Norwegian born pianist Inger-Kristine Riber joins the
Sammamish Symphony in Grieg’s beloved Piano Concerto. Riber has established
herself as an active soloist, accompanist, and chamber musician, winning
numerous artistic scholarships and grants.

p.m. at Meydenbauer Theatre in Bellevue.
