In a program of considerable variety, the Sammamish Symphony opens its 2022-23 season with music from three different centuries and five different countries. Joseph Haydn's Overture to an English Opera kicks off a concert combining music for the stage, the screen, and the concert-hall. Guitarist Michael Partington is the soloist in Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto No. 1, a work written for the legendary Andrés Segovia. We also celebrate the 150th anniversary of the great English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams with a performance of his Two Hymn-Tune Preludes. Rarities by Morton Gould and Emil Hartmann round out this gala season opener.
