Be there when the news is made this Friday night at Audrey Auditorium, where the choice for new Musical Director of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra will be announced. In addition, the night will feature what is sure to be a great performance with Flagstaff’s own Dr. Edith Copley conducting Britten's War Requiem. Special soloists Deborah Raymond, Steven Spears and Kurt Ollman will join the NAU Shrine of the Ages Choir and the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra. Performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday at NAU’s Audrey Auditorium.
For a special treat, I recommend attending this week’s pre-concert lecture at Ashurst Auditorium. A buffet dinner will be served beginning at 5 p.m. Northern Arizona University College of Arts and Science faculty will discuss “Britten’s War Requiem In Context.” Tickets for dinner and the panel discussion are $25. Click here for ticket information for both the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra performance and the pre-concert event.
Also on Friday night, NAU will host a reception for visiting Japanese artists to celebrate the opening of an exhibit featuring their contemporary art. This will be at the Old Main gallery on the NAU campus, beginning at 6 p.m. (Watch for traffic, this is right near Ashurst!)
A kickoff, fund-raising event for this year’s Northern Arizona Book Festival also happens Friday night at Uptown Billiards (114 N. Leroux St., Flagstaff, Arizona) starting at 6 p.m. This will be a Celtic Poetry Reading and Scotch Tasting. All proceeds from the tasting will benefit the 11th annual book festival, which is coming up later this month.
Saturday at the Coconino Center for the Arts, enjoy workshops and demonstrations about recycled art. Up the road at the Museum of Northern Arizona, you can hear a geologist talk about the Grand Canyon at 2 p.m.
Late Saturday afternoon, you can enjoy figure-skating demonstrations by all age categories of the Flagstaff Figure Skating Club. The event begins at 4:15 p.m. at the Jay Lively Ice Rink. Suggested donations to support the club are $3 per person.
There are several music options in Flagstaff Saturday night – consult the Community Calendar of the Arizona Daily Sun.
