For the close of the Strathcona Symphony Orchestra’s season, Music Director Helena Jung has chosen classical masterpieces as well as introducing the winners from the orchestra’s concerto competition.
Winners of the SSO Concerto Competition, local flutists, Antonia Mahon and SSO musician, Christine Constabel, will be playing Cimarosa’s first movement, Concerto for Two Flutes. Elliott Nakagawa, a talented young violinist from Nanaimo, is also a winner of the event, and he will be performing the first movement of Bruch’s Violin Concerto.
The Bravo! performances mark the final concerts for Helena Jung’s involvement with the local community orchestra.
In addition to the Bravo! concert, the SSO Board will be announcing the winners of a raffle draw after the concert on May 25th. The main prize will be WestJet's Gift of Flight. Other local businesses, including Crown Isle, 40 Knots Winery, the Sid Williams Theatre, Naturally Pacific Resort, Long & McQuade, Holiday Inn Express & Suites (Courtenay), and the SSO, have generously contributed exceptional gifts for the raffle.
