SOUNDWAVES SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL

June 18th, 2010

The sounds of the ocean will mingle with the glorious music of the SOUNDWAVES SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL in an extraordinary week of both classical and modern music on the shores of the Central Oregon Coast. The festival will take place from June 16-20, 2010.

In its third year, SOUNDWAVES is under the creative baton of Maestro Yacov Bergman, music director and Conductor of the Portland chamber Orchestra and the Walla Walla Washington Symphony. Because of his international reputation, Maestro Bergman attracts world-class soloists to play in this festival, which will consist of two chamber concerts, two concerts featuring the full orchestra, and a Sunday dinner theater program. The Soundwaves Summer Music Festival will again add incomparable excitement to the 2010 season at the beach.

Featuring an array of world renowned soloists including pianist, Gerald Robbins, and violinist, Haroutune Bedelian, both favorites of the Festival, cellist Nathaniel Rosen, the only American to win the Van Cliburn Award in Russia, violinist Lindsey Deutsch, in a return appearance to Oregon and a young piano virtuoso, Alex Bernstein will be featured with both the June 16 and 17 chamber concerts and the June 18 and 19 full chamber orchestra concerts. The final dinner theater program will be held at Eden Hall in nearby Gleneden Beach. Rocky Blumhagen, famed California and Oregon singer and actor, will be accompanied by the SOUNDWAVES orchestra in a new rendition of Cole Porter music orchestrated by Ron Abel of Hollywood.

SOUNDWAVES is an integral part of Let There Be Arts which has provided arts education programs for students in Lincoln County for ten years. LTBA has impacted the lives of thousands of children. As part of the Soundwaves Summer Music Festival there will be a free concert for children and families featuring a special presentation of “The Three Legged Monster”by Scandinavian composer, Avini, and “The Birds”, by Respighi. At the end of the concert, families will have an opportunity to meet the musicians.
