Franz Joseph Haydn – Symphony No. 73 in D major, H. I:73 “La chasse”
Frances Walton – Martin (Andante for Strings)
Caroline Berkenbosch – Monument 16 (U.S. premiere)
Johann Sebastian Bach – Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043 (arr. for 2 violas)
Béla Bartók – Romanian Folk Dances for strings, Sz. 68, BB 76

Returning from its enforced hiatus, the Philharmonic hits the ground running with a concert that characteristically blends the familiar, the different, and the new. Franz Joseph Haydn’s joyous Symphony No. 73 is a work of unceasing high spirits, capped by a boisterous finale that includes hunting fanfares in winds and brass. Bach’s beloved Concerto for Two Violins is here given in a new version for two violas, featuring the Philharmonic’s co-principal violists Amy Werner-Allen and Jon Epstein. Two unique and distinct voices in contemporary music will be presented: Dutch composer Caroline Berkenbosch is represented by the U. S. premiere of her intriguing Monument 16, and legendary cellist and conductor Frances Walton will be spotlighted as composer of Martin (Andante for Strings), a moving tribute to longtime Seattle-based violinist and educator Martin Friedmann. The program ends with Béla Bartók’s exhilarating Romanian Folk Dances.

The concert will begin at 2pm.
