COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2019 Inland Musicians usher in holiday season with songs Reservations recommended for upcoming Echo concert By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Familiar Christmas favorites are featured during the 21st annual holiday con- certs of the Inland North- west Musicians. From classical, tradi- tional, Russian ballet music or a modern classic like LeRoy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride,” music director and conductor R. Lee Friese has chosen a program to usher in the season. Featuring both the orchestra and chorus, the event is Saturday, Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. at the Echo Commu- nity Center, 20 S. Bonanza St. While admission is free, it is highly recommended that people make reserva- tions to ensure a seat. The past concerts have been extremely popular, playing before a full house. “The Christmas concert at Echo is like going home for the orchestra and chorale — we have performed many concerts there,” Friese said. “This concert is always a celebration. It is an intimate setting and very exciting.” HH fi le photo Tuba player Ralph Werner plays with the Inland Northwest Musicians during a past holiday concert. Featuring the orchestra and chorale, performances are Dec. 7 in Echo and Dec. 8 in Connell, Washington. Contributed photo The Inland Northwest Musicians will present its annual holiday concerts Dec. 7 in Echo and Dec. 8 in Connell, Washington. Reservations are highly recommended for the Echo performance. The most famous of Tschaikovsky’s ballets, “The Nutcracker,” will surely bring familiar pictures into your mind, said Sue Friese. From the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Arabian veiled dancers and the well-known Waltz of the Flowers will transport you to the world-famous stages presenting the “Nut- cracker Ballet.” The orchestra will change paces a bit with LeRoy Anderson’s popular “Sleigh Ride.” The popular classic will be conducted by Ash- ley Walchli. The Hermis- ton resident is participating in a conducting apprentice with the Inland Northwest Orchestra. Her premier con- ducting introduction, Wal- chli received a bachelor’s degree in music with an emphasis in piano perfor- mance in 2016 from Oregon State University. The chorus will perform a selection of Alfred Burt car- ols that were originally writ- ten and sent to family and friends on Christmas cards in the 1950s, Friese said. The chorus also highlights the Austrian carol, “Still, Still, Still,” arranged by Nor- man Luboff. The program also features the combined chorus and orchestra with “Festive Noels,” a medley of European carols by Bob Krogstad. And, Friese said, the greatest shout-out of cel- ebration from throughout all music history, the “Hallelu- jah Chorus” by George Frid- eric Handel. The program will be repeated during a Sunday, Dec. 8 performance at 4 p.m. at Connell High School, 1100 W. Clark St., Con- nell, Washington. That con- cert will include high school choir students in the sing- ing of “Festive Noels” and the “Hallelujah Chorus.” The Connell performance doesn’t require reservations.
