Anchorage Symphony Orchestra

The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra’s 2009-2010 season is over. Last Saturday Sam (Calla House) attended the last of the season's performances of the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra (ASO) at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The concert featured the Harlem String Quartet who performed "Concerto for String Quartet and String Orchestra" (The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow). The piece was engaging with many surprise treatments of the Sleepy Hollow legend. It was a concert to be remembered.

Season Tickets are now on sale for the 2010-2011 Anchorage Symphony’s concerts. The Classic Concert Series opens on September 25 and features University of Alaska’s well-respected Timothy Smith, piano. The April 16 concert will include the Alaska Chamber Singers in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony. On line there is a full listing of the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra’s 2010-2011 Classic Concert Series.

Several of our Anchorage Bed and Breakfast Club members are offering discounts for people who wish attend a concert and have a wonderful night’s stay at a bed and breakfast followed by a luscious breakfast the next morning. We suggest you make plans now by becoming a season subscriber to ASO’s series. To purchase season tickets by phone, call the Anchorage Symphony at (907) 274-8668.
