Bravo! Music Director Favourites, May 24 and 25
The Strathcona Symphony (SSO) concludes its 20th Anniversary season celebration by performing pieces chosen by the orchestra’s Music Director, Helena Jung. The May Bravo! concerts also mark the end of Helena’s conducting role with the symphony.
Helena has picked classical masterpieces, including movements from Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Grieg’s Holberg Suite, and Rossini’s William Tell Overture. She has also rounded out the program to include a lush orchestration from Hisaishi’s Merry Go Round of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle and a nod to K-pop megastars, BTS with the song, Dynamite.
Winners of the SSO Concerto Competition, local flutists, Antonia Mahon and SSO musician, Christine Constabel, will be playing Cimarosa’s Concerto for Two Flutes. Elliott Nakagawa, a talented young violinist from Nanaimo, is also a winner of the event, and he will be performing the first movement of Bruch’s Violin Concerto.
Performances are on Saturday, May 24th (7 PM) and Sunday, May 25th (2 PM) at Courtenay’s Filberg Centre.
