Anchorage Alaska Arts

The Anchorage Alaska Bed and Breakfast Club’s members are interested in the arts programs which are abundant in Anchorage. On March 2nd, 2010 the Anchorage Youth Symphony performed at the Performing Arts Center. There was a wide variety of types of music presented by the Sixth Grade Honors Orchestra, Junior Youth Symphony, and Youth Symphony. It was a lovely evening. Sam’s (Calla House) daughter being one of the performers might slant this her written opinion somewhat; however, everyone else seemed to enjoy themselves as well. Caroline’s (Camai B&B) adult daughter is an alumnus of the Anchorage Youth Symphony.

The Anchorage Youth Symphony’s final concert of this season is April 27 at 7 PM in the Discovery Theatre, Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets can be purchased online.

Anchorage also has the Anchorage Symphony. The Anchorage Symphony offers two more programs this season. On March 27 the Anchorage Symphony will feature a Peter Maxwell Davies piece for orchestra with bagpipe solo. Also on the program is Ravel’s Concerto for Piano in G. Guest pianist Chu-Fang Huang will be featured. This program will conclude with Schubert’s Symphony No. 9.

The last concert of the year for the Anchorage Symphony will be April 17.

Tickets to the Anchorage Symphony can be purchased online.

Some of the Anchorage Breakfast Club members offer special rates for guests attending the symphony. Please inquire.
