Marrowstone Island-based horn player Bruce Kelley will take the spotlight during the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra’s next concert.
The Symphony Orchestra’s next performance is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, April 24 in the Chimacum High auditorium.
Kelley is the principal horn player in the Port Townsend and Port Angeles symphony orchestras. Prior to that, he was the principal horn at Eastside Symphony in Redmond for 30 years. In addition, Kelley was a founder of the Northwest Mahler Festival in Seattle.
The symphony orchestra’s featured piece for the concert is “Artik Concerto for Horn and String Orchestra” by Armenian-American composer Alan Hovhaness.
Also on the program are string orchestra pieces: “Impromptu” by Jean Sibelius, “Nocturn” by Anton Dovorak, “Drosera” by Sonya Leonore Stahl, “The Old Boatman” by Forence Price, and “Fantasia on Greensleeves” by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The concert will also feature harpist Barbara McColgan, brass, and percussion, who will perform “Sacrae Symphony 1597” by Giovanni Gabrieli and “Celebration Fanfare” by Jeff Manookian.
Admission to the concert is free, and there will be an open dress rehearsal at
7 p.m. Friday, April 22. Currently, reservations are not required for either event.
Vaccination is required to attend and vaccination cards will be checked at the door. Depending on the status at the time, there may be a limit to the number of attendees, organizers of the event said.
