Festival Orchestra
The Festival Orchestra is a remarkable assembly of regional, national and international musicians, many of whom have joined this festival for decades, under the direction of James Paul for two concerts and Jason Klein for a Pops concert.
The first orchestra concert also will include pieces by Copland, Barber, Bernstein and Dvorak.
“Gypped” is the theme of the Pops concert. Klein will lead the orchestra in performances of several gypsy-inspired tunes, including selections from “Gypsy.”
The featured guest is pianist Jon Nakamatsu, who has played with orchestras all over the world, as well as at the White House. The orchestra will support Nakamatsu on a Rachmaninofff concerto in the second orchestra concert.

Stolen Sweets
The Stolen Sweets play music from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. The band initially formed to revive the songs of the Boswell Sisters, a 1930s trio known for auspicious, good-humored music.
The band comprises vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell and Erin Sutherland, guitarist-singers Pete Krebs and David Langenes and double bass player Keith Brush. Their arrangements are inspired by the Boswells’ tight three-part harmonies and frequent tempo changes, but instead of piano, clarinet, and horns, the Sweets incorporate what they describe as gypsy jazz accompaniment. The band performs at clubs and festivals around the Northwest.
