J. Strauss Jr. – The Blue Danube
Offenbach – Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld
Vivaldi – The Four Seasons (Spring concerto)

Bring a picnic supper and enjoy The Sounds of Cinema, a concert focusing on great classical music that was used in major motion pictures.

The program will cover many different styles of music and film, including Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake (used in the classic Dracula and the modern-day thriller Black Swan), Johann Strauss Jr.'s waltz The Blue Danube (from the classic science fiction 2001: A Space Odyssey), Jacques Offenbach's Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld (from the musical drama Moulin Rouge), and the Spring concerto from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (which writer-director-star Alan Alda used in his comedy-drama of the same name).

There will also be some musical surprises along the way, and conductor Adam Stern will share anecdotes on the composers, pieces and films with the audience. Evan Hjort, who took Second Place honors in the 2015 Sammamish Symphony Young Artists Competition, will be the soloist in the Vivaldi. This free concert is sponsored by the City of Sammamish.
