On March 14th, Northwest Symphony Orchestra’s third concert of the season, “Gardens of England,” will usher in spring with a symphony by Vaughan Williams, Gerald Finzi’s Clarinet Concerto, and a
selection from Recollections by Seattle composer Peter Seibert. The concert will be at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in West Seattle.

“Vaughan Williams wrote his beautiful Fifth Symphony as a reminded of the beauty that is possible in this world, against the ravages of World War II. One is able to taste, feel, and envision the gorgeous and tranquil British landscape of Vaughan Williams’ beloved homeland. Also on the concerto is virtuoso clarinet soloist Sean Osborn, who, having toured much of the world, is back home in Seattle to perform Gerald Finzi’s Clarinet Concerto with the NWSO - one of my personal favorite concertos.”
- NWSO Conductor Anthony Spain
