2017-18 SEASON

We’re your symphony.

What an honor it is to bring you Bremerton Symphony’s 75th season. This special anniversary year requires some extra, new, and memorable programming. We begin the season with bebop in a concert we call Jazz and the Romantic. For me, Charlie Parker has always been the Mozart of Jazz. Mark Lewis, perhaps the greatest exponent of this art form in Kitsap County, will present some of the most famous tunes from the collection, Charlie Parker with Strings. The second half of this opening night features an American classic, the Romantic Symphony of Howard Hanson.

We raise the roof in our season finale with two acts from La bohème plus a true barnburner, the first movement of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony of a Thousand. We are proud to partner with Kitsap Opera for this concert.

In between, we offer Victory at Sea on Veterans Day, along with John Williams’ Hymn to the Fallen, a Mozart Cantata, and the irrepressible wit of Gilbert and Sullivan. For the holidays we present two performances of Händel’s beloved Messiah. Join us on St. Patrick’s Day for Celtic Dreams with violin phenomenon Sophie Lee. In April we present the best and the brightest young talents from our region – how exciting to hear early-career artists close to home.

Help us celebrate our Diamond Jubilee!
