The Oregon East Sym- phony’s annual Holiday Music Festival will return on Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Vert Auditorium, located at 480 SW Dorion Ave. in Pendleton. An ecumenical celebration of the holiday season through song, the Holiday Music Festival features a variety of com- munity music ensembles in addition to the Oregon East Symphony. General admis- sion to the concert is free. OES Assistant Conduc- tor Zack Banks will lead a string orchestra in perform- ing Alan Hovhaness’s Sym- phony No. 49 (Christmas). Hovhaness was a prolific Armenian-American com- poser who spent the last three decades of his life residing in Seattle. His compositions incorporated a variety of influences from across the world, including Indian and Asian music, Ar- menian chant, Renaissance polyphony, whale songs and medieval plainsong. Banks, who also serves as Principal Cellist and Education Director for OES and Conductor for the Grande Ronde Sympho- ny Orchestra, says, “The Oregon East Symphony is thrilled to help ring in the holiday season, and we look forward to sharing the stage with two other fantastic lo- cal groups. The Christmas Symphony by Alan Hov- haness is written for string orchestra, and the piece serves as a musical setting for the story of the birth of Christ. The work comes in four equally captivating movements and carries the unique flavor of this rarely performed American-Ar- menian composer from the twentieth century.” The concert will also feature Equinox Little Big Band, a jazz combo led by Pendleton School District music instructors Andy Cary and Emily Muller- Cary; Our Songs Are Live, a traditional drumming, singing and dancing en- semble from the Confeder- ated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation led by cultural historian Fred Hill; the Pendleton Brass Quin- tet featuring Steve Muller, Andy Cary, Jill Scanlan, Kaitlyn McMasters and Gary Ferguson, and Christ- mas carol singalongs led by Adam Lange, worship music leader with Christ Church in La Grande, OR.
