The Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra opens tonight with the first concert of the season: Demons & Destiny!

We are especially thrilled to introduce our featured soloist for this concert, Yoon-Wha Roh.

Acclaimed as “a pianist who lets her piano work do the talking, transporting her audience not only to a clearly defined place but also into a colorful adventure” (Hyde Park Herald), pianist Yoon-Wha Roh has captivated audiences with her expressive artistry and compelling performances. Her international career has brought her to the stage as a soloist with numerous orchestras, including the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, New Jersey Garden State Orchestra, Korean National Symphony Orchestra, Seoul National Symphony Orchestra, Sungnam Philharmonic Orchestra, Jeonju Philharmonic Orchestra, and New York Classical Symphony Orchestra.

Roh has performed at distinguished venues including Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Lincoln Center’s Bruno Walter Auditorium, Seoul Arts Center, Jordan Hall, New York Steinway Hall, and Aspen’s Harris Concert Hall. She has also appeared on the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series and at renowned festivals such as the Aspen Music Festival, Prague Music Performance, PianoTexas International Academy & Festival, Schlern International Music Festival, Banff Centre, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and the International Keyboard Institute & Festival. Her performances have taken her throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

Roh holds a Doctor of Music degree in Piano Performance and Literature, with minors in music theory and arts administration, from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, a Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory, and a Performance Diploma from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. She currently serves as Assistant Professor of Piano at Washington State University.

Don’t miss the sharing of these spectacular talents, this weekend only. 🎹❤️

🍀 BPA is lucky in so many ways… but today we can’t believe our good luck that we are putting on a production of “Red” by John Logan, and we happen to have our very own Mark Rothko IN HOUSE!!

You may recognize her as our front-of-house manager, but many folks don’t realize that Nic Schluter is also an incredible visual artist. She not only created and stretched the massive canvases to be used in the show (with help from Ed and Meloni Courtway!), but she lent her talents to mimic some of Rothko’s work!

Swipe to see a sneak preview of the famous “paint scene” in action, featuring Mel Carson as Rothko and Reed Viydo as his assistant, Ken.

RED runs one weekend only: November 13-15.
Pay-what-you-can preview night on November 12.

TONIGHT!! 👻

The Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra opens its 2026–2027 season with a program of electrifying Russian masterworks. Modest Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain conjures a world of shadow and spectacle, its vivid orchestral colors evoking both the magic and menace of the fall season. Pianist Yoon-Wha Roh joins the orchestra for Sergei Rachmaninoff’s beloved Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor—a work of sweeping lyricism and emotional depth that has captivated audiences for generations. The concert concludes with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 in F minor. Composed in his youth at the threshold of a remarkable and turbulent career, this bold and imaginative work reveals a singular voice already brimming with wit, drama, and defiance.

Program:
Modest Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor (Yoon-Wha Roh, piano)
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 1 in F minor

In Fun Home, cartoonist Alison Bechdel (portrayed in her adult form by Jasmine Joshua) spends portions of the show at her drawing table, remembering.

But what is Jasmine REALLY doing up there? 🤔

Swipe to see some of their favorites from the drawing pad, and let us know which one speaks to you! (For us, it’s the silly goose at the end.) 🪿💙

FUN HOME closes this weekend, with just a handful of seats left for the final three performances. Don’t miss it… ticket link in bio.

Greg Heilman's review for Fun Home, running on stage at Bainbridge Performing Arts through October 25. Full review linked in the comments.

"With a superb cast, an excellent orchestra, and a creative team whose lighting, scenic design, costumes, and choreography elevate every aspect of the storytelling, Bainbridge Performing Arts delivers an exceptional production of Fun Home. It's a musical that reminds us that the people closest to us are often the most difficult to understand, and that the memories we carry from childhood can take on entirely new meaning as we grow older. Beautifully performed, thoughtfully staged, and at times absolutely heartbreaking, this is a production that will stay with you long after the final curtain."
