Inland Northwest Orchestra to perform 1812 overture in February concerts The booming sounds ofTchaikovsky’s 1812 Over ture will begin two concerts in February by the Inland Northwest Orchestra. The ensemble, which is part o f Inland Northwest Musicians (INWM), will be performed Saturday, February 16, at 7 p.m. in the North Baker Elementary Auditorium in Baker City and Sunday, Feb ruary 17, at 4 p.m. at Harris Jr. Academy in Pendleton. Both concerts are free. The 1812 Overture, which is best known for its thunderous volley o f cannon fire and ringing chimes, was commissioned by Tsar Alex ander II to be played during the consecration of the Tem ple o f Christ the Redeemer in Moscow. The temple had been built as a memorial to Napoleon’s defeat in Russia in 1812; therefore, Tchai kovsky used that historic event as the program for his work. Intending his music for outdoor perform ance, the composer scored it for large orchestra and an ex panded percussion section that included actual cannon to boom at intervals. Although the Inland N orthw est O rchestra will not utilize cannons and the concerts will be indoors, the piece will be dramatic. The sym phony is adding m ore percu ssio n in stru ments and musicians. “For many people the 1812 Over ture is a familiar piece. Like so many o f Tchaikovsky’s compositions, it is a chal lenging work to perform— it is technically dem anding and requires large numbers of performers to make it suc cessful,” said R. Lee Friese, Music Director and Conduc tor of INWM. The audience is in vited to a reception after each concert to meet and mingle with the musicians.
