The Sequim Community Orchestra looks to end its season on a high note with a concert set for 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 1, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

The program includes Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 and the Stamitz viola concerto in D. For the Stamitz selection, the orchestra will be joined by soloist Sky Gelder, a Port Angeles High School freshman and winner of the 2024 Nico Snel Junior Young Artist Competition.

Admission is free.

Sequim Community Orchestra is a group of people from various musical abilities and life stages. This year, several local students have joined the orchestra from across the North Olympic Peninsula.

Other orchestra members include adults who are lifetime musicians, and others who haven’t touched their instrument in decades.

The orchestra is a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to Perform, Inspire, and Educate.”

In addition to the adult orchestra, the youth strings program provides professional strings education to all interested youth.

The orchestra maintains an inventory of quality string instruments that youth can use at no cost and graduate to larger instruments as they grow.

The organization depends on private donations to fund highly qualified music instruction, instrument purchase and maintenance, and scholarships that make it so that finances are not a barrier to learning to play orchestral music.
