CHIMACUM — The Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Tigran Arakelyan, will open its season at 2 p.m. Sunday.
The free concert will be in the auditorium at Chimacum High School, 91 West Valley Road, Chimacum.
The orchestra also invites the public to attend its free dress rehearsal at 7 p.m. Friday.
The program features “Pas un Monde, Mais un Miroir” by Antoine Martel, who goes by the name Sous Chef.
Martel describes the piece as “a film score to a cosmic horror film that doesn’t exist.”
The music achieves a big, cinematic sound through the blending of classical instruments and modern electronics.
Also on the program is “Threnody: In memory of Jan Sibelius” by William Grant Still.
Still, a groundbreaking African American composer, was commissioned to write a tribute for celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Sibelius’ birth.
Rounding out the program is Symphony #2 by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which includes the music of Ukrainian folk songs.
