BREMERTON SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION
The Bremerton Symphony Association (BSA) has announced the concert schedule and details for the 2008-09 season. Titled "Hear Brilliance Here" by Music/Artistic Director Elizabeth Stoyanovich, the season includes a variety of concerts for a range of ages and musical preferences, including Classic, Chorale, Conductor's Choice and Family concerts; and this year, something new: Opera.
The upcoming season features the BSA's first-ever partnership with Kitsap Opera to present a fully-staged production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" on November 21 and 23, 2008. According to Maestra Stoyanovich, "A collaboration with the Kitsap Opera and BSA means that you have the experience of the opera with the quality of the symphony—definitely an event not to miss!"
Another can't-miss concert will feature cellist Joshua Roman, performing "Variations on a Rococo Theme" by Tchaikovsky with the Bremerton Symphony in March 2009. Mr. Roman became the Seattle Symphony's youngest-ever principal cellist at age 22 and his solo career is growing rapidly. Dubbed a "Classical Rock Star" by the press, Mr. Roman has earned a reputation for performing a wide repertoire with an absolute commitment to communicate on a deeply emotional level.

Season tickets are now available for sale from the BSA office at (360) 373-1722. Season ticket prices vary depending on concerts selected; a "Pick 6" subscription is also available where buyers may select their top 6 concerts and purchase them together for a discount over the single ticket price.
This is the 66th Season of the Bremerton Symphony Association, and Maestra Stoyanovich's sixth season as Music Director. Full season details are available at www.bremertonsymphony.org. The concert dates and featured works/guest artists are:
