As you can see by the Yakima Symphony Orchestra's banner they are expecting a banner year! For the first time in their history they are "conducting" a search for a new Music Director. The YSO received 105 applicants from three continents for this position. I think that would make retiring Music Director and Conductor Brooke Creswell very proud.
Brooke Creswell has been Music Director and Conductor of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra since its inception back in 1967 under the name Yakima Chamber Orchestra. Brooke remains with the YSO in the capacity of Artistic Director this season. To read more click here.
Brooke will also conduct the season opening concert on November 1st featuring a piece about the national Mexican holiday knows as Dia de lost Muertos or Day of the Dead. Also on that program is Lux Aeterna written by Morten Lauridsen
born in Colfax, Washington.
Other season highlights include the YSO's principal cellist, Kara Hunnicutt in Ottorino Respighi's Adagio con variazioni featuring conductor Viswa Subbaraman.
Pianist Regina Yeh joins the Yakima Symphony and conductor Nikola Caoile in Frederic Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in f.
