The Sammamish Symphony's season finale offers three major works by three major American composers. Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring is widely considered to be his masterpiece, a celebration of life in a Shaker village. Paul Creston's Partita for Flute, Violin and Strings is a piquant double concerto in the style of a Bach Brandenburg Concerto, and features two of our esteemed principals: concertmaster Caroline Faflak and flutist Melissa Underhill. Opening the program is a suite from one of the finest and most beautiful of all film scores, Elmer Bernstein's music for To K*ll a Mockingbird.
