RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS The Lark Ascending – Casey Bozell, Violin

SARA CARINA GRAEF Yakona

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6

Taking our inspiration from the world around us, PCSO features Concertmaster Casey Bozell in a sublime work by 20th Century English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The program includes the evocative Yakona by Sara Carina Graef, an homage to the Yaqo’n Indian tribe of Oregon,

accompanied by images of the Yakona Nature Preserve and oyster-rich Yaquina Bay. Ludwig van Beethoven’s ode to the natural world, his exquisite Symphony No. 6 (the Pastoral), with its themes of harmony and idealism as personified by nature, anchors this concert of unfolding wonder. As Beethoven himself phrased it: “Surely woods, trees, and rocks produce the echo that man desires to hear”.

FREDDY VILCHES Latin American Suite

Focusing on Latino-connected music and composers ¡Adelante! is also a bridge-builder to future generations of musicians from our area. The Latin American Suite by Portland-based composer Freddy Vilches is a composition that features rhythms and musical traditions from five regions in Latin America, featuring traditional instruments for each region. Exuberant and lively, we are thrilled to feature not only our own Principal flutist Adam Eccleston, but young students from Bravo Youth Orchestra, trained in the vaunted El Sistema (the system) program in the final concert of this stellar season!
