West Michigan Symphony will feature nine of its own brightest orchestral soloists during its Masterworks concert on Saturday, Feb. 9.
The “Mozart and Friends” performance will feature:
• Flutists Jill Marie Brown and Jodi Dyer and Concertmaster Jennifer Walvoord performing Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no. 4,
• Osvaldo Golijov’s “Mariel,” which is a duet for principal cellist Alicia Gregorian Sawyers and principal percussionist Matthew Beck
• Béla Bartók’s “Romanian Folk Dances”
• Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante” for winds showcasing the work of principal oboist Gabriel Renteria, principal clarinetist Jonathan Holden, principal bassoonist Vincent Karamanov and principal horn Erin Lano.
The concert will be held in the majestic Frauenthal Center for Performing Arts in downtown Muskegon at 7:30 p.m.
“We are excited to highlight so many of our own musicians in ‘Mozart and Friends,’” said Music Director Scott Speck. “In the past we have sometimes featured soloists from the orchestra, but never so many at one time.”
