Seattle’s newest community orchestra, Cadence Chamber Orchestra (CCO), will be performing at a free concert in Interbay this Thursday, March 11. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Q Cafe, at 3223 15th Ave W. They will also be doing a free show the following day in Magnolia.
The program will feature two world premieres by Seattle-based composer Jon Brenner and will include Haydn’s well-known Symphony No. 88 and Mendelssohns Hebrides Overture.
Founded last year by a group of entirely volunteer musicians, the new alternative group hopes to widen the usual orchestral audience through its music, by giving those who otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to experience a live show the opportunity. The group plays free concerts throughout Seattle, performing each program at both an unconventional location, and a more typical performance space. Every concert also includes a world premiere piece alongside some more well known orchestral favorites.
