Lowe Down on the New Symphony Season
NORTH SPOKANE LIBRARY
Tuesday, September 10, 2–3pm
In this talk, Maestro Lowe previews the 74th season of the Spokane Symphony—all ten Masterworks concerts (formerly called “Classics”) and six Pops concerts—along with the highlights of other musical events presented by the symphony—including “Ancient Tales of Magic: Music of Harry Potter and other Halloween Favorites” in October, the orchestra’s New Year’s Eve tradition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and the new “Movies and Music” series.
There will be a question and answer session as well. One lucky attendee will receive a door prize of two tickets to the Masterworks 1 concert. This event is free and open to the public.
The new season of the Spokane Symphony starts on September 14, 2019, with Lowe conducting Masterworks 1: American Rhythms, featuring the music of George Gershwin and Aaron Copland. Guest pianist William Wolfram will perform George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. This concert also features John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine, Gershwin’s I Got Rhythm, and Aaron Copland’s Symphony No. 3.
