Orchestra Nova Northwest presents By Nature

Orchestra Nova Northwest is excited to be performing at Sherwood Center for the Arts on Saturday, May 16, at 7 p.m,!  Orchestra Nova Northwest's inaugural performance at our new home of Sherwood Center for the Arts features a celebration of resilience, artistry, and authenticity through the works of LGBTQ+ composers.

Leonard Bernstein’s The Age of Anxiety—a symphony in name and piano concerto in spirit—is a meditation on modern disquiet and personal search for meaning, inspired by W.H. Auden’s Pulitzer Prize-winning poem. ONN welcomes the return of the dazzling pianist, Sara Davis Buechner, as soloist. The program concludes with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Symphony No. 5, a masterwork of emotional intensity and triumph. Together, these pieces reflect personal struggle and transcendence, paying tribute to two iconic composers whose creative courage shaped the world of classical music.

Access to the arts for all! ONN tickets are pay what you can for this performance!
