The Salem Chamber Orchestra may have scaled back their season this year, but they certainly haven’t scaled back their performances. When they take the stage in Hudson Hall for their Orchestral Strings Favorites concert on November 21st at 3pm, they will celebrate some of the great works written for strings.
The orchestra will be under the direction of guest conductor Huw Edwards who is currently the Music Director for the Olympia Symphony Orchestra. SCO principal flute, Sarah Tiedemann will also enjoy the spotlight as she performs Rutter’s Suite Antique with the orchestra.
In keeping with a tradition started a few years ago to encourage young musicians, some of Salem/Keizer’s finest advanced strings students will be joining the orchestra for a side by side performance of Barber’s Adagio for Strings. While the work in the classroom provides students with the technical skills they need, it is opportunities such as these; working with professional musicians, that help them develop their musicianship.
For those of you who can’t make the Sunday matinee performance, the Saturday dress rehearsal will also be open to the public. Tickets for the dress rehearsal, which will also take place in Hudson Hall, are $5 for adults and $3 for students, available at the door. Tickets for the concert are $15 -$25 (student ticket pricing is also available) dependent on seating and are available at the door or for best selection at absolutelytix.com.
