The orchestra kicks off their virtual spring concert series on Friday.
The concerts, which will debut on Vimeo, are not just musicians on stage playing classical music. Instead, they are a combination of “music and ideas,” and each has a theme. All five of the concerts include chats with orchestra musicians and local experts about how the theme is expressed in other disciplines.
Friday’s concert explores the folk roots of music and culture, and debuts at noon.

SPOKANE, Wash. The Spokane Symphony will perform five concerts that will each be available on-demand in April.
‘Overtones: Connecting Music, Art & Science’ will consist of five 90-minute concerts, including video segments and interviews with members of the Spokane Symphony.
“The Covid pandemic prevents us from gathering together for live music concerts, but presents an opportunity to create new ways of connecting and exploring ideas. Since just filming a concert can be rather uninspiring, we wanted to do something different,” said Music Director James Lowe, who returns to Spokane next week to begin directing the series.
