4:00pm Susan Telford, Flutist &
Juliet Stratton, Harpist
Flutist Susan Telford
began her musical studies on violin and piano at the age of
four, briefly studied cello, and then moved on to the flute
when she realized that the long, hilly walk to and from
school and even life itself would be much more pleasant with
a smaller instrument in hand. She received degrees from the
University of Washington (BM) and Northwestern University
(MM and most of a DM), and studied at several summer
festivals. She was the winner of the Northwest Young Artists
Competition, the Farwell Award, Bushell Concerto
Competition, and numerous other competitions, as well as
receiving Program Honors at Northwestern. She has been a
member of the Tacoma Symphony, Elgin Symphony, Evansville
Philharmonic, Chicago Chamber Orchestra, and several chamber
groups, as well as a substitute with the Seattle Symphony,
Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and Grant Park
Symphony, among others. Harpist Juliet Stratton received her Master of Music degree in Instrumental Performance from Northwestern University. Her other studies include the Salzedo School with Alice Chalifoux, Southern Methodist University, the University of Washington, and the Banff Center for the Arts. Currently Principal Harp and Soloist with the Port Angeles Symphony, Miss Strattons prior orchestral engagements include the Cincinnati Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet, NW Sinfonietta, Tacoma Opera, 5th Avenue Theater, Utah Symphony, Walla Walla Symphony, Auburn Symphony, Spokane Symphony, NW Mahler Festival and Skagit Opera.

November 23rd, 2008 Sunday at 4:00 p.m. A wonderful start to our concert season! The Lyric Arts Ensemble brought vocal and chamber music to Faith Lutheran for an afternoon and evening of lovely and energetic music. Conductor Kenneth DeJong programed a variety of sounds, tempos, colors and seemingly, always a creative twist that makes everyone smile with joy.
The afternoon's concert featured music in a wide
variety of colors, ranging from a Spanish ballad to a
French carol set over a "bolero" rhythm. The
American composer Daniel Pinkham has crafted a setting
of "O Come, Emmanuel" that showcases this creative
genius. Also included in this afternoon
concert was a selection newly written for this ensemble
by conductor Kenneth DeJong.
