As the nation prepares for the general election, NWCC opens the season with a program examining our political voices and what it means to be a citizen. Featuring members of North Corner Chamber Orchestra (NOCCO), this concert offers regional premieres of works by David Lang: the national anthems and statement to the court. Audiences will enjoy musical pieces spanning seven centuries by such diverse names as Guillaume de Machaut, Joel Thompson, and Johannes Brahms.
There will be a pre-concert talk with Artistic Director Jeremy Edelstein on Sunday, 11/3 starting at 2:30pm. Jeremy will share his inspiration for this concert and the meaning behind the repertoire. This talk is available in-person and via livestream.

Our organization is committed to fostering artistic expression and community engagement. While our fall concert will explore the power of the political voice, we want to clarify that we do not participate in any political activities. We encourage attendees to engage with the performances and consider the broader themes explored, but we do not endorse any specific political views or candidates. Our focus remains on celebrating music and its ability to inspire and unite us all.
The second concert of NWCC’s season celebrates the poetry and legacy of Walt Whitman, 170 years after the initial publication of Leaves of Grass. The wide-reaching influence of his prophetic vision of America, democracy, and humanity will be on display with works by Missy Mazzoli, Norman Dello Joio, Stacy Garrop, and Robert Maggio, among others.

We present our season finale in collaboration with Sammamish High School, offering a chance to explore the generational impacts of music and poetry through song, in a literal and metaphorical sense. We explore the various sound-worlds of forward-thinking historical music, and historically inspired contemporary music, and how music and art can transport us to liminal space free of the constraints of time and place.
