Let's Get Started
Come at 6:45 to enjoy a pre-concert conversation with Maestro Dewey Ehling.
Port Townsend Orchestra's own virtuoso clarinetist, Miles Vokurka, will be highlighted in this concert. Miles was born in Kladno, Czechoslovakia, to an American mother and Czech musician father. To escape the communist takeover of their country, the family moved to Chicago in 1948, just in time to enroll in an American kindergarden. Miles received a Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters in Clarinet Performance from Northwestern University and spent over 20 years teaching and directing high school instrumental music in the Chicago area.
The Port Townsend Community Orchestra was formed in 1987. Orchestra members are your friends and neighbors, the people you see and work with every day in your community. They are also musicians who volunteer their time to play together each week, and their goal is to give you - their neighbors, co-workers and friends - beautiful music to enjoy.
Port Townsend Community Orchestra offers four concerts a year, in October, December, February and April. There is no admission fee so that everyone, children included, can attend. The orchestra is supported by contributions from its patrons and from local businesses. Donations are also welcome at the door.
