Philharmonia Northwest and soloist Mary Bowden perform "Trumpet Concerto"

  • Shorecrest Performing Arts Center 15343 25th Avenue Northeast Shoreline, WA, 98155 United States (map)

Our February concert features the magnificent sounds of brass instruments. Made famous by cartoons and television shows, Gioachino Rossini‘s William Tell Overture is one of the composer’s most popular pieces on the concert stage. Lauded as “One of today’s most eclectic composers” (NPR), Vivian Fung wrote her trumpet concerto for the virtuosic trumpeter, Mary Elizabeth Bowden that “stretches the imagination of what is possible for the instrument.” The concert concludes with the lush and picturesque Third Symphony “Rhenish” by Robert Schumann.

PROGRAM:

Gioachino Rossini: William Tell Overture
Vivian Fung: Trumpet Concerto (Consortium premiere)
Robert Schumann: Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 97 “Rhenish”
