Tacoma Symphony Orchestra presents new Music Director Sarah Ioannides at Point Ruston

TACOMA, WA - New Music Director Sarah Ioannides will be at Point Ruston for a special event celebrating the beginning of her tenure with Tacoma Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, June 7 from 4-7pm.  The event is a benefit for the Tacoma Symphony and the community is invited.  Light refreshments will be served.  Information and reservations may be made by calling 253-272-7264.

Ms. Ioannides, who was selected last December after a two-year international search encompassing more than 100 prospects, will conduct her first concert as Music Director on October 25, 2015.  Hailed by The New York Times as a conductor with "unquestionable strength and authority," Sarah Ioannides was a prize-winner of the Leeds Conducting Competition and was also awarded the JoAnn Falletta award for the most promising female conductor.

"This season I hope will be as special as many to come," said Sarah Ioannides. "I am very much looking forward to the start of my time with the orchestra and chorus.  In addition to the musical gems on the season, we will also have a few small surprises for our audience."

"It has been inspiring to work with Sarah Ioannides on developing the 2014-2015 Season," stated Executive Director Andy Buelow.  "She plans each concert with the same care and diligence as a curator planning an exhibit.  Each program will be as thrilling for the orchestra to play as for the audience to hear."

Point Ruston is a premier waterfront neighborhood, offering living, dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreation on the water's edge.  Situated on 97 acres along nearly a mile of Puget Sound shoreline, this Built Green® community is bisected by the City of Tacoma and the Town of Ruston boundary line.
