Symphony community has lost a stalwart member
Alan Futterman, Bremerton WestSound Symphony

It is with great sadness this week that we announce the loss of a long-time member of the Bremerton WestSound Symphony community. Janice Williamson (1936-2021) along with her husband Mark Williamson, was a stalwart supporter of all our orchestral activities and perhaps the nicest, sweetest person that any of us have known. Many of our activities for youth would not have been possible without Janice and Mark’s generous contributions over many years. These include our former youth symphony, this competition and our youth Jazz ensemble. Her legacy will live on in the many students who have passed through our youth music programs and gone on to thriving professional careers. All our thoughts and our hearts go out to Mark Williamson.
