Northwest Sinfonietta’s season of favorites opens with Juan Pablo Contreras’s joyful homage to the birthplace of mariachi music, the Mexican state of Jalisco, where mariachis play their songs on every corner, vying for the love and attention of the crowds. We are thrilled to premiere Roupen Shakarian’s Oboe Concerto written for oboist and wine aficionado Dan Williams. Enjoy a complimentary flight of wines and munchies with this light, delightful work. The second half is an opera extravaganza! The PLU Opera Chorus and soloists Ivy Zhou, Andrew Etherington and Vashon Opera diva Jennifer Krikawa join us to bring favorite Die Fledermaus selections to the party, including the famous champagne song.
