Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra presents “Raise the Roof!” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 and 3 p.m. Sunday, March 1.

This special program is one of celebration, community and the American spirit. Through the generous support of the Fletcher Bay Foundation, the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra is showcasing its new set of timpani in American composer Michael Daugherty’s thrilling concerto, “Raise the Roof!” performed by Gunnar Folsom.

Kevin Puts won the Pulitzer Prize in 2010 and his work for orchestra, “Millennium Canons,” will have its Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra debut. Closing the performance in grand fashion is Beethoven’s “Chorale Fantasy” featuring the BSO, Mark Salman on piano, and the Amabile Choir with director Anne Pell.

A pre-concert chat is at 2:15 p.m. before the Sunday, March 1 performance.

Tickets are $19 for adults, and $16 for seniors, students, military and teachers at 206-842-8569 or www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org. Each youth receives free admission when accompanied by a paying adult.
