Conductor Tigran Arakelyan is wrapping up his outstanding 9-year tenure as music director of the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra (PTSO) with this Farewell Concert. Tigran joined the symphony in 2017 and has ushered the organization through a name change and significantly improved quality of performances, in addition to establishing a chamber music series and young artist competition. The Jefferson County community is exceedingly grateful for Tigran’s dedication to the orchestra over these years and to the success of his tenure in the position. We wish him all the best as he explores new musical opportunities and adventures.

Featured soloist is Luke Fitzpatrick. Luke is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and artistic director of Inverted Space, a Seattle-based new music collective. He recently performed the US Premiere of Isidora Zebeljan’s Three Curious Loves with the Seattle Philharmonic and the world premiere of Joël-François Durand’s La descente de l’ange for violin and clarinet. Additionally Luke has performed with Deltron 3030, Terence Blanchard and the E-Collective and as a touring member of the Harry Partch Ensemble.

Luke has appeared on recordings released by Ablaze and Centaur records. As a composer, his work has been commissioned and performed by The Harry Partch Ensemble, Figmentum, the Morsel Trio and the Parnassus Project. He received a 2023 CityArtists Grant from the City of Seattle to produce Nesting Dolls & Dreamscapes, a work that explores multiple microtonal realms colliding against one another amid a theatrical and improvisatory landscape.

Luke received his training from UMKC (BM), CalArts (MFA) and the University of Washington (DMA) and is currently concertmaster of Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, Seattle Festival Orchestra, Federal Way Symphony and Emerald City Chamber Orchestra. He also plays regularly with SMCO, NOCCO and the Portland Opera Orchestra. Besides music related things, Luke is an avid dancer and enjoys biking, eating sushi and collecting shoes. He plays on a bow generously on loan from the Kevin Tao Foundation.
