Olympia Symphony Music Director Search Concert #2: Kelly Kuo

The second concert of the Olympia Symphony Orchestra’s Music Director Search Series features conductor Kelly Kuo.

Praised as “a leader of exceptional musical gifts, who has a clear technique on the podium and an impressive rapport with audiences,” Maestro Kelly Kuo brings a dynamic versatility and nuance to a diverse repertoire, which includes over 90 operas and an expansive symphonic repertoire as well.

He will be joined on stage by guest artist Amber Archibald-Sešek, viola, performing Dobrinka Tabakova’s arrangement of Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata.

Praised for bold and vivacious playing that matches her personality, Amber Archibald-Sešek has performed at major venues and festivals throughout the United States and Europe, where her technique is “seemingly effortless…precise” and she is considered “a natural in every sense.”
