Classical chords and melodies will compliment the serene setting of Finnriver Farm & Cidery as the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra will perform at the outdoor venue.
The free concert is set for 6 p.m. Friday, June 3 at the farm located at 124 Center Road in Chimacum.
Under the direction of acclaimed conductor Tigran Arakelyan, the group will perform a chamber concert featuring talented guitarist Michael Nicolella. Nicolella is a Seattle-based instrumentalist who’s performed extensively across North America, Europe, and Japan as a solo recitalist, chamber musician, and orchestra soloist.
He has collaborated with Gil Shaham, Bernadette Peters, and Brian Stokes Mitchell of the Seattle Guitar Trio, and is a frequent guest with the Seattle Symphony.
Nicolella is currently a faculty member of the Cornish School of the Arts in Seattle and will be joining the orchestra in Antonio Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Guitar and String Orchestra.”
Additionally, the orchestra will perform the North American premier of “Alma de Tango for String Orchestra,” by Argentinian composer Adriana Isabel Figueroa Mañas.
Figueroa Mañas is one of Argentina’s most celebrated female composers, and her symphonic works have premiered throughout South America, Europe, China, Canada, and the United States.
The symphony orchestra will also play Edvard Grieg’s “Two Elegiac Melodies” and “Danzas de Panama” by William Grant Still.
Also performing with the group is Elijah Hill, the Young Artist Competition conductor’s prize winner, performing “Liebestraum No. 3” by Franz Liszt.
To round out the program, the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra horn quartet and ensemble will perform “Fanfare for Barcs” by Kerry Turner, “Soyons Plaisans, Tous Galans” by Andre Pevernage, “Pilgrim’s Chorus from Tannhauser” by Richard Wagner, and “Der Freischutz Fantasie” by Anton Weber.
