Exploring Salem Oregon: Salem Symphonic Winds: Represent

March 13, 2022 3:00 PM 

Doors Open: 2:00 PM

Salem Symphonic Winds brings REPRESENT to the Elsinore Theatre, a bold and expressive statement of American musical diversity. Hannah Penn, featured vocalist on James M. Stephenson’s Symphony No. 2 “Voices” and William Bolcom’s Five Cabaret Songs, will entrance you with her dark, rich, and captivating performance. The band presents powerful music with a profound emotional impact. The African-American Symphony of William Grant Still depicts black American culture with blues, spirituals, and beautiful harmonies unheard in concert halls before his signature work was premiered. Celebrate the power and beauty of Oregon, from breathtaking storms at our Pacific coast to floral meadows and magnificent mountains, all captured in Magical Oregon by Frigyes Hidas. This program will expand your awareness of band music genres and leave you wanting more. Conductor John Skelton will offer a pre-concert talk about the music at 2:15 pm, followed by a short chamber music performance and the concert at 3 pm. This project made possible, in part, by funding from the Marion County Cultural Corporation.

NOTE: The musicians are fully vaccinated and have prepared a dramatic program to entice community members back into the theatre. Out of concern for public safety, everyone attending the concert will be required to show ID and proof of vaccination or a verified negative COVID-19 test completed within 48 hours of the performance. Properly worn protective masks covering the nose, mouth, and chin are required in the Elsinore Theatre. Please use appropriate social distancing while at concerts.
