We close our 2025–26 season with a concert that will MOVE you—in every sense of the word.

​

Pacific Northwest harpist Elizabeth Landis takes the spotlight in Ginastera’s Harp Concerto, a thrilling and percussive showpiece full of Latin American vibrance. A familiar face in the regional music scene, Lardis performs regularly with Seattle Symphony, Symphony Tacoma, and Northwest Sinfonietta—and now steps center stage with the Olympia Symphony.

​

Then, by popular request from our orchestra musicians, we perform one of the most powerful symphonies of the 20th century: Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5. Written under Soviet censorship, it’s a deeply emotional journey—steeped in irony, defiance, sorrow, and triumph.

​

Celebrate the end of the season with bold music, unforgettable artistry, and a full house at the Washington Center. Let’s close this chapter in motion—together.
