The upcoming perfor-
mance of the Inland North-

Competition
winners,
including a Hermiston
High School senior.
Bassoonist Kyle Ketch-
ersid tied as a winner in the
Senior Division during the
March 11 contest, which
was held by the Inland
Northwest Musicians in
Hermiston. He performed
the first movement of Carl
Maria von Weber’s “Con-
certo in F Major,” which is
featured in the upcoming
concert.
Under the direction of
R. Lee Friese, the free per-
formance is Saturday at
4 p.m. in the Hermiston
High School auditorium,
600 S. First St.
Other featured con-
test winners include Sana
Schiffern, a fifth grade
piano player from Kenne-
wick, and violinist Anas-
tasia Crosier, who is a
freshman at Hanford High
School.
In addition to study-
ing bassoon for six years
— currently with instruc-
tor Adella Hammerstrom
— Ketchersid plays alto
and baritone saxophone.
He also won his division
during the 2018 Young Art-
ists Competition, playing
alto saxophone.
At Hermiston High
School, Ketchersid plays
in the wind ensemble and
jazz band, has performed
in the orchestra pit during
school musicals and took
the stage after landing the
lead role in the winter 2018
production of “Seussical
the Musical.”
In addition, Ketchersid

plays in several community
music ensembles. Ketcher-
sid hopes to pursue a career
as a music teacher.
This past winter, Ketch-
ersid earned his Eagle
Scout rank through the
Boy Scouts of America. In
his spare time, he enjoys
playing Magic the Gath-
ering, and Dungeons and
Dragons.
The concert program
also includes “Concerto
for Piano and Orches-
tra in D Major” by Joseph
Haydn,
Pyotr
Ilyich
Tchaikovsky’s
“Violin
Concerto In D Major, Op.
35” and “Pavane, Op. 50”
by Gabriel Faure.
The orchestra is an
ensemble of the Inland
Northwest Musicians, who
are celebrating their 20th
anniversary season. The
organization is commit-
ted to providing live musi-
cal performances to rural
audiences.
Although there’s no
charge
for
concerts,
they greatly appreciate
donations.
