Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra and conductor Wesley Schulz have announced the lineup for the 2017–2018 season, their annual four-concert classical series featuring a star-studded cast of guest performers, masterworks, beloved favorites, original compositions and special collaborations.

The new season starts at Bainbridge Performing Arts in November.

The BSO kicks off its season with “Mozart and Sibelius,” a program featuring Missy Mazzoli’s “River Rouge Transfiguration” as well as pianist Oksana Ejokina in a performance of Mozart’s brilliant “Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor,” and works from the sonic world of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.

Then, the February program showcases César Franck’s most enduring work for orchestra, “Symphony in D minor,” plus composer Bright Sheng’s moving and beautifully haunting, “Black Swan,” plus an orchestration of Brahms’s “Intermezzo in A major, Op. 118, No. 2.”

Also on the program is bass trombonist David Krosschell, who will perform Eric Ewazen’s riveting “Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra.”

In April, listeners will hear their favorite music from the original Batman, Superman and even John Williams’ original scoring for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra will be featured in a side-by-side performance with the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra and the winner of the BSO’s ever-popular Young Artist Competition will perform.

In June 2018, local violin virtuoso Rachell Wong will perform Shostakovich’s “Violin Concerto No. 1.”

This titanic concerto will entrance audience members with its sensitive and probing musical lines. Tchaikovsky’s “Fourth Symphony” erupts with a fanfare for brass that is moody like Shostakovich’s concerto. As the symphony unfolds, however, gaiety and excitement hold court. Perhaps his most famous symphony, Tchaikovsky’s spectacular “Fourth” will end BSO’s 2017-2018 season with a flourish.
