Symphony of the Redwoods Welcomes Virtuoso Violinist to Mendocino County for Season Finale Concerts

FORT BRAGG, Calif. – April 19, 2018 – Violinist Annelle K. Gregory will make her Mendocino County debut with the Symphony of the Redwoods to bring their 2017-2018 concert season to a close. Led by Music Director Allan Pollack, the Symphony will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2, and Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy with Gregory as the featured soloist. Performances will be on Saturday, April 28 at 7:30pm and Sunday, April 29 at 2pm at Cotton Auditorium in Fort Bragg.

Max Bruch composed numerous works for chorus and orchestra before he wrote the Scottish Fantasy. Comprised of four movements, this piece features prominent references to Scottish folk music, including a harp and the illusion of bagpipes. For Gregory, the Scottish Fantasy holds personal significance. “My great-grandfather was from Aberdeen, Scotland,” she said. “It was a welcomed surprise when the Symphony requested this piece.”

Gregory, a San Diego native and graduate of USC’s Thornton School of Music, began playing the piano at age four, and received her first violin on her eighth birthday. “Every member of my family dabbled in music,” she explained. “All the women are singers and pianists.” Recently, Gregory won 1st Prize and was the Audience Choice Award winner of the 2017 National Sphinx Competition. This year, she will begin recording her next album with Dmitry Yablonsky and the Kiev Virtuosi Orchestra, featuring little-known works by Rimsky-Korsakov and Taneyev.

All Symphony of the Redwoods concerts will be at Cotton Auditorium, 500 N. Harold Street, Fort Bragg. Tickets are available for $20 online at symphonyoftheredwoods.org, at Harvest Market and the Redwood Coast Senior Center in Fort Bragg, Out of This World in Mendocino, and at the door.
