The Mukilteo Community Orchestra will conclude its 2014-15 season with a concert at 2 p.m. May 17 with a program called “Mukilteo Goes to The Movies.”
The concert, led by artistic director Trevor Lutzenhiser, is at Rosehill Community Center, 204 Lincoln Ave. in Mukilteo, and admission is free.
The pieces selected for the concert were written for movies or TV or were used in soundtracks.
About 45 minutes before the concert begins, the Kamiak Quartet and the Everett Youth Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble are scheduled to perform.
The concert program includes “Magnificent Seven” written by Elmer Bernstein for the movie of the same name, the “Downton Abbey Suite” by John Lunn, and themes by John Williams written for the movies “Jurassic Park” and “E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial.”
Lyric soprano Sarah Davis joins the orchestra to sing the aria “Song to the Moon” from Dvorak’s opera “Rusalka,” which was used in several movies, including “Driving Miss Daisy.”
Painist Laura Hendrickson, a senior graduating as a Running Start student at Everett Community College, joins the orchestra to perform the second movement of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. in C minor. Again, numerous movies included the concerto in soundtracks.
Eugene Choi, a 2014 Kamiak High School graduate, joins the orchestra to perform the second and third movements of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 A Major, used in several movies, including, of course, “Amadeus.”
