A winter treat! Re-experience past performances with our community partners, Tacoma Youth Chorus and Tacoma Refugee Choir. Selections include Moon Song and Snow.
Viewable on the Symphony Tacoma Youtube page.
Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.
Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.
“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.

The first full week of May is designated National Small Business Week. Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Six years ago, Paul Long, a local commercial/business banker, created the South Sound Business Summit to give the opportunity for business owners to hear from local and national leaders about the challenges and successes of owning a small business. Last year 150 business leaders attended the online summit and learned from 3 nationally recognized speakers.
For 2021, everyone has experienced challenges to business and need to hear about ways to grow, expand or survive during these unprecedented times. Many people are also tired of webinars, zoom meetings and we are still unable to meet in person. This year attendees will receive a daily email from Monday May 3rd- Friday May 7th with a short 5-7-minute video interviews from local leaders.
Topics and Speakers in 2021 will be
Monday

Speaker: Valarie Harris, Branding & Marketing Coach, Varris Marketing Group
Tuesday
