Faith Foster conducts this concert as one of four finalists for the position of PTSO Conductor/Artistic Director. Faith received her Doctor of Musical Arts in Orchestral Conducting from Catholic University of America in 2025. She also holds a Masters in Orchestral Conducting and a Bachelor of Arts in Violin Performance. She has been music director for multiple community ensembles and award winning youth orchestras as well as guest conducting with professional symphonies and ballet companies. As a violist and violinist, Faith has performed internationally as a chamber musician, touring England, Scotland and New Zealand. She moved to Bellevue in 2025 and quickly became known in Seattle/Eastside music circles. In talking with her it was clear that she satisfies our requirement that our next conductor “conspicuously enjoys conducting.” Learn more about Faith at https://ptsymphony.org/concert-season/.
Faith shared, "One of the first things that impressed me when learning about the PTSO was the orchestra’s relationship to new music. It is not only willing, but excited to explore composers and sounds that are not yet a part of the established canon. So many community ensembles prefer to stick with the safe, the familiar, but PTSO embraces the new while still celebrating and learning from the pillars of symphonic repertoire."
PROGRAM
~ American in Paris Suite by George Gershwin, arranged by Whitney
~ Buscando Campo by Shanti Seidel Molina
~ Three Sketches of Unblemished Earth by Jordan Jinosko
~Symphony No. 9, From The New World by Antonin Dvorak
HOME: A MUSICAL EXPLORATION. As a newcomer to the Pacific Northwest, I’m forever grateful for the people and mountains welcoming me so warmly to this new home. “American in Paris” depicts George Gershwin strolling through Paris for the first time with jazz music filtering out from the clubs and providing connections to his home oceans away. In Buscando Campo” – best translated as “Looking for Land” – Mexican-American Shanti Seidel Molina explores connections to the land of her birth while embracing home and family built here. “Three Sketches of Unblemished Earth” is Jordan Jinosko’s expression of a deep love for home within nature. Dvořák’s Czech heritage was essential to his identity, and yet his “New World Symphony” is a love letter to the rich musical traditions of his new home in America, as well as the incredible natural beauty that he encountered here.
