We have reached the conclusion of SPR's Symphony Week with the Spokane Symphony! During this week-long affair, we've talked with musicians, staff members, board members, artistic collaborators, and international guest soloists about the Spokane Symphony, the Spokane arts scene, and really how everything is gearing up for the symphony's opening weekend. Our session ended this morning with the Music Director and Conductor, Eckart Preu. It was a fitting conclusion to the week as he discussed his thoughts on this year's orchestra, the upcoming exciting events, and, of course, this first concert. Eckart has always enjoyed pushing his audience with his programming, and this first concert is no exception. Part 1 of today's broadcast featured the soloist for this weekend, pianist Cecile Licard, and she will be playing Piano Concerto No. 1 by Bela Bartok.
The Spokane Symphony's Classics concert series begins this weekend - Saturday, September 19th at 8:00pm and Sunday, September 20th at 3:00pm - with "Russian Adventures," featuring Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2, "Little Russian." Tickets available now online at TicketsWest or by contacting/visiting the Box Office at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox.
