The Olympia Chamber Orchestra continues the 2022-23 season with their second concert, The Scholar, on February 19 at 2:30 pm at The Lutheran Church of The Good Shepherd.
Conductor Nickolas Carlson has programmed a diverse program which will feature performances of the winners of the Olympia Music Teachers Association (OMTA) Concerto Competition. Ila Velupula will play the second movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. Chloe Song will play the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The relationship between OCO and OMTA is an important one in the fabric of the musical community in Olympia. OCO is grateful to have the opportunity to support these wonderful young artists.
Additional works will include performances of Elfrida Andrée’s Overture in G minor (receiving its west coast premiere, and edited by local musician and educator Jonathan Spatola-Knoll), Libby Larsen’s Fanfare for a Learned Man, and Symphony 101 by Franz Joseph Haydn, commonly referred to as “The Clock” because of the ticking rhythm in the second movement.
The orchestra will also perform on February 18 in Yelm and February 25 in Chehalis. It is an important part of OCO’s mission to bring these concerts to outlying areas that may not have their own orchestras.
The address of The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd is 1601 North St. SE Olympia, WA 98501. More information can be found and tickets purchased at OlympiaChamberOrchestra.org. The Olympia Chamber Orchestra is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
