Music Director Xian Zhang begins her inaugural season with a powerful Opening Night Concert celebrating destiny, drama and the power of music. Jessie Montgomery’s Hymn for Everyone is a meditation for orchestra. Bedřich Smetana depicts the female warrior Šárka, leading the way in a legendary uprising against men. Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner bring operatic intensity. And our opening night soloist, the charismatic Simon Trpčeski, performs Edvard Grieg’s heroic Piano Concerto.

Creative sparks fly from the energy of dance and the experience of great art. Music Director Xian Zhang conducts Pictures at an Exhibition, Mussorgsky’s compelling imaginary walk through a startling art gallery — orchestrated by Ravel to become one of the cornerstones of symphonic music. The energy continues as we link the folk-infused rhythms of the town of Galánta (Kodály’s childhood home) with the delights of Michael Abels’ showpiece for orchestra and string quartet — first graceful, then bluesy, then raucous. It’s the perfect way to introduce the Sphinx Soloists, four outstanding young string players recognized by the Sphinx Organization in its mission to broaden access to classical music and celebrate its diverse, emerging virtuosos.

Passionate, luxurious, melodic, yet dark and brooding — Rachmaninov wrote the very definition of Romantic music and he'll be featured throughout our season. Music Director Xian Zhang conducts two of his defining works in this program. She is joined by the dazzling young virtuoso Alexander Malofeev, who, after wowing Seattle in his 2023 debut, returns to take on Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, written after the composer had established himself in America. Then we turn to Rachmaninov’s epic Second Symphony, one of the greatest emotional journeys in all music. Australian composer Melissa Douglas has created a soundscape of the germination of springtime in her Awaken, which opens the concert.

It's the first stop of the Tiny Tots Series! Time to put on your walking shoes and go globetrotting with the brass family.

This new edition of the beloved concert celebrates Bugs Bunny’s 85th Anniversary, and the concert’s 35th. Over a dozen classic Looney Tunes are projected on the big screen, while their iconic original scores are played live by the Seattle Symphony.
