“Echoes of the North” will be presented by the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Rozsa Center. This is the final season for Milton Olsson before he retires from his position as professor of music and music director of the Keweenaw Symphony and the Concert Choir.
Evan Premo (double bassist and composer), winner of the distinguished Albert A. Stanley Medal as the outstanding 2008 graduating senior of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance, will perform the stunning Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra by Finnish composer Jukka Linkola. Evan Premo is an active chamber musician performing regularly at Carnegie Hall, Juilliard, and does outreach performances around New York City as a member of Ensemble ACJW.
Premo has performed concerti with numerous orchestras and has collaborated with such artists as Andrés Cárdenes, Yizhak Schotten, Katherine Collier and the Formosa String Quartet.
The premiere of “Fall Storm on Lake Superior,” a multimedia work for orchestra and narrators composed by Evan Premo, plus appearances by his family band, White Water, and soprano Mary Bonhag will make this an unforgettable occasion in the Rozsa Center. Be sure to come join the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra for a great night of entertainment.
“KSO concerts offer symphonic experiences, accomplished guest artists, innovative programming, fruitful collaborations and exciting premieres. The orchestra’s cosmopolitan programs feature new work by living composers as well as living works by composers from every period of history.”
