2024-2025 CONCERT SEASON, "Timeless Elements": We celebrated the elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire in music throughout our 45th season under the baton of Dr. Michael Wheatley. Every performance at state-of-the-art McIntyre Hall on the Skagit Valley College campus in Mount Vernon, Washington presented beloved classics alongside passionate and colorful works from lesser-known composers. All concerts featured world-class guest artists who dazzled our record audiences. Our season wrapped up with a fun sold-out pops concert entitled "Wild, Wild West".

Program 2

Expenses: $49,157 Revenue: $6,463

MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM: SCHOOL AND FAMILY CONCERT Series. We were delighted to continue our popular School and Family Concert series in January 2025, entertaining and educating fifth grade students from all area school districts and families from throughout the region. This series presented a lively introduction to the instruments and music of the orchestra, this year featuring "The Composer is Dead". We were thrilled to include Spanish translation provided by our guest conductor, Sebastian Serrano-Ayala; Spanish-speaking kids in the audiences were electrified! The Family concert was preceded by our Children's Music Fair with hands-on music activities and opportunities for families to talk with our musicians and see their instruments up close.
