Flute Force
“Glittering, exciting, sonorous, evocative”… Flute Force is hailed as "an extremely persuasive advocate for the flute quartet medium: four top-quality players in a perfectly balanced and expressive ensemble". Flute Force opens its 25th season with a newly discovered work by Maestro Roupen Shakarian and premiere performances of quartets by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Amercian composer Joseph Schwantner and flutist/composer Elizabeth Brown, a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient.

Philharmonia Northwest
Philharmonia Northwest returns to La Conner with a program of sparkling chamber orchestra music with three exhilarating works, with Mozart’s ever-popular Marriage of Figaro, Gounod’s lyrical Symphony No.1, and Mendelssohn’s brilliant Symphony No.3. Since these great works were performed in their time in small concert halls, Maple Hall will provide you the same sense of enriching experience as the audiences of the composer’s time.
