The Story of Babar

Edmonds Center For the Arts

Stunning sisters and Seattle Symphony members, Jacqueline and Katherine Audas, join Cascade Symphony as soloists in Brahms’ magnificent Double Concerto for violin and cello. Both earned degrees from Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music and have been winners at prestigious international competitions. They have appeared with major orchestras and music festivals on four continents. The concert begins with Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March and concludes with the lush Langsam movement from Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony.
