Cascade Symphony’s 2025-26 season concludes with three centuries of music from Austria, Italy, Bohemia and America, including overtures by Antonin Dvorak (Vanda) and Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story), and Ottorino Respighi’s Roman Festivals. Northwestern Winds (Oboist Edward Benyas, Clarinetist Denise Lum, Hornist Jill Jaques and Bassoonist Steven Morgan), who have collectively performed with the Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee and Oregon Symphonies, the Seattle, Santa Fe and Chicago Lyric Operas, the Pacific Northwest and Joffrey Ballets, and at the Spoleto, Carmel Bach and Bellingham Music Festivals, among others, appear as soloists in Mozart’s delightful Sinfonia Concertante for four winds and orchestra.
