New Age Flamenco

Postmark Center for the Arts, 20 Auburn AVE

Buy Tickets Online

The music of New Age Flamenco was influenced by the work of Gipsy Kings, Carlos Santana, Ottmar Liebert & others. Their sound reflects a strong Latin connection, with Mediterranean folk, European roots, jazz, and a Gypsy soul blended with the infectious rhythms of modern music. New Age Flamenco integrates these influences by combining them to create a new, personal sound of their own to bring you an exuberant stage experience!

For almost four decades Whiskey River's musicians have thrilled audiences across America playing the music of the legendary southern-rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whiskey River not only plays Lynyrd Skynyrd, they personify the group onstage by re-creating the image and the music that took the world by storm in the 1970's. Whiskey River’s 30+ year history of phenomenal performances have earned them the title: "America's #1 Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band". Presenting hits from the multi-platinum album "One More From The Road" and "Freebird The Movie”, the show is augmented by selections from the original band's last album "Street Survivors". You will enjoy classics like “Sweet Home Alabama”, “Gimme Three Steps”, and many more, plus their phenomenal note-for-note performance of Lynyrd Skynyrd's live guitar opus "Freebird"!

Auburn Symphony: From Marimba to Mozart

Auburn Performing Arts Center - 702 4th St NE, Auburn, WA 98002


Composers find inspiration in everything – their nationality, historical events, and of course other genres of music. With his Symphony No. 38, Wolfgang Mozart wrote a love letter to the city of Prague. The music crackles with virtuosity and grace, signaling that Mozart is at the peak of his compositional powers. ASO welcomes percussionist Garrett Arney to the stage to perform Emmanuel Séjourné’s Concerto for Marimba and Strings, an eclectic piece that will leave you breathless. The concert opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Banner, commissioned in 2014 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Star-Spangled Banner. She weaves together snippets of the anthem with civil rights songs and other cultural melodies. Inspiration is everywhere, especially in the concert hall! Tickets and information at auburnsymphony.org.
