The Saratoga Chamber Orchestra invites the community to “From Russia With Love,” a concert program of prominent Russian composers, at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30 at South Whidbey High School.

The SCO, now celebrating its fifth anniversary under the artistic direction of Conductor Legh W. Burns, will feature 13-year-old Lara Lewison, SCO’s Young Artists Competition winner, performing Sergei Prokofiev’s “Violin Concerto #2” in G minor.

The program also includes Tchaikovsky’s “Cossack Dance” from the Ballet “Mazeppa,” Rachmaninov’s “Vocalise” and concludes with the orchestral masterpiece, “Capriccio Espagnol” by Rimsky-Korsakov.
