There will be a short pre-concert chat with conductor and music director Jonathan Pasternack at 6:40 p.m.

The symphony also will open its final rehearsal to the public Saturday at 10 a.m. in the high school performing arts center. Admission will cost $7.
At both events, youths 16 and younger will be admitted free with a paying adult.
On the program for Saturday night is Dvorak’s “Romance for Violin” with violinist James Garlick.
Also planned is Ravel’s “Tzigane” (“Gypsy”).
Garlick has traveled across the United States and to South Africa and Cuba with various ensembles. Juilliard-trained, he now performs with the Minnesota Orchestra and lives in St. Paul, Minn., with his wife, Emily James, a Port Angeles High School alumnus.
Another Ravel work, “Le Tombeau de Couperin,” opens Saturday’s concert. This piece puts Port Townsend oboist Anne Krabill into the bright spotlight.
