Celebrating 50 Years

Celebrating 50 Years

We have a lot to celebrate this year! October 2021 will mark the resumption of live orchestral performance at the Capitol Theatre, and we have lined up an epic 2021-22 season to mark the 50th anniversary of the first full season of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra after its founding in April 1971. The Yakima Valley Classical Series begins with one of four programs from our interrupted 2019-20 season. Highlighting our talented string section, Serenade for Strings includes three of the most celebrated string orchestra pieces ever written: Barber’s Adagio, Tchaikovsky’s Serenade and Vaughan

Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti celebrates the roots of orchestral repertoire, planted three hundred years ago in a series of works by Johann Sebastian Bach. Featuring YSO musicians as soloists, we will present all six concerti in one evening! Late January brings the long-awaited performance of Scheherazade and Other Remarkable Women, with YSO concertmaster Denise Dillenbeck featured in the orchestral masterpiece by Rimsky-Korsakov. The YSO’s own Angelique Poteat will star as both clarinet soloist and composer, performing the Copland Clarinet Concerto and a world premiere composition of her own. We enjoy a Spring Celebration in March with Copland’s classic Appalachian Spring and Schumann’s “Spring” Symphony, alongside Tchaikovsky’s ebullient Rococo Variations featuring the principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony. One of the most beautiful, passionate, intense and challenging pieces in the entire repertoire, Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is like a lifetime represented in music; Mahler 5 is the perfect way to show how our orchestra has ‘come of age’ over fifty years. We close out the season with The Magnificent Mendelssohn, featuring the composer’s glorious Symphony No. 2, the “Lobgesang” (Hymn of Praise), for which we will be joined by our Symphony Chorus.

The Gilbert Orchards Pops Series will be no less epic than the Classical Series. We will begin with our annual Holiday Pops Spectacular in December. The series continues in January with a 90th birthday celebration of The Music of John Williams. Bohemian Rhapsody: The Music of Queen will include all the greatest hits of Freddie Mercury and company. In May, we welcome the Villalobos Brothers, a tremendously talented Mexican-born family of singers, violinists and composers. We conclude the season in late June with the ever-popular Cirque de la Symphonie: spectacular acrobatics performed to famous classical music.

To conclude our 50th Anniversary Celebration, in July 2022 we will present a Special Gala Concert featuring one of the biggest stars of the classical world, violinist Joshua Bell, postponed from the spring of 2021. We cannot yet confirm the exact date and details, but when we can this special concert is sure to sell out! For anyone who did not already purchase tickets in 2020, priority will be given to season ticket holders, so the only way to ensure a seat for this historic concert is to buy a season subscription.

Over fifty years, many people have contributed love, support, hard work and sacrifice to make the Yakima Symphony Orchestra what it is today. Come celebrate with us!

Sincerely, 

Lawrence GolanThe Helen N. Jewett Music DirectorYakima Symphony Orchestra

Celebrating 50 Years

Sincerely,

Lawrence Golan

To help celebrate five decades of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra, violin superstar Joshua Bell will join the Yakima Symphony Orchestra for a special gala concert in July 2022. At press time for this brochure, we are unable to confirm the exact date and program for this momentous performance, which is being rescheduled from its original date in the spring of 2021, but we will release all the details as soon as we are able!

Those who subscribed to the YSO’s 2020–21 season had the opportunity in 2020 to purchase discounted advance tickets for this program, and we will continue to honor the seating reservations of those subscribers who signed up at that time. We will be in touch with each subscriber who is holding these tickets to confirm your seating before any new tickets go on sale.

Once we can announce the new concert date, and place additional tickets on sale, new discounted ticketing will be available only to renewing and new 2021-22 YSO subscribers through the YSO office until January of 2022. At that time, any remaining tickets will be made available to the general public at regular prices through the Capitol Theatre box office.

You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra and Joshua Bell, right here in Yakima’s own Capitol Theatre!
